<pre>All computers use binary internally for storage and calculation. The results
are only displayed as base-10 for the convenience of human users.
The issue could be mitigated by the whole package being rewritten using 128-bit
floats, but all that would do is add more 9's. The issue would reappear if you
made the cell wide enough, and the cost would be a huge amount of work and slow
the whole software down.
If 15 decimal place precision is important to you, a spreadsheet is probably
not the right tool.</pre>
