@Christophe also using 0.0000001 is going to be the same as using any other constant. Comparing two doubles in C#/.NET is not "subject to rounding issues."

@Christophe because Double.Epsilon is ~5e-324, which is way beyond the floating point error ranges. Using that results in essentially overloading ==/</>.

I was unnecessarily specific - this is really only tangentially financial-related; see edits. Your points are well-taken.
