Re: Dumb programming question..

True.  But isn't that our job?  I doubt a user really cares how we calculate
the result as long as it's correct.  The problem would occur with math
challenged programmers or managers who'd be eyeing the code.

We've already had someone point out that the simplified equation would have
a divide by zero error but wasn't sure with the original equation.   The
divide by zero boundary condition was more obvious.  Could that be evidence
that the resulting equation is easier to work with?
