I made this a separate comment, because it's wildly off topic, but... they actually aren't. Especially for very large numbers or for high precision. When's the last time you did a firmware update on yours?

It's fairly trivial to find lists of calculator flaws and then identify them in research papers. I recall reading a research paper about it in the 00's.
