You could just as easily ask how many of us use lead-alloy to shield our in-home nuclear reactors to get the same answer. On the other hand, if you go and ask on the numpy and simpy and whatever-math-or-science-py lists there are, and get affirmative answers from them that yeah, NaN != NaN is just a huge pain and everyone is working around it, then brought that information back here -- well, then you will have made the point that you want to make. -- ~Ethan~
