Except it's being used in a situation where correctness isn't important. A close approximation is more than fine. In fact, an approximation might be better because it's more generalizable.
Hence, it's a bs thing to say. And it sounds clever - the worst type of bs.
Yes. It doesn't change the output, so it is a correct optimization.

Keeping the same results is playing it safe. Not BS.
