What you've done is demonstrate that a well-known algorithm with well-established behaviour in certain scenarios actually deviates from that behaviour to cause significant errors under certain conditions. This is a useful thing to know for anyone in the field. A sizeable portion of science is about learning from other people's mistakes; most of the remainder is about making your own and letting everyone else learn from them too. | |
