the "set paradigm" is harmful



Earlier I wrote:

Change "either" to "both".  One applies for small absolute values, the
other for the rest.

Btw, I realise that one can also have an approximate number arithmetic
with containment properties, and that this is probably what Svetoslav
had in mind -- but my comments about restriction to narrow intervals
remain applicable.
