Regarding the first one, programmatic and mathematical operations of this algorithm give different results. If that's incorrect mathematically, think of it as pseudocode. With the second, it's summation, not a product. If it approaches 0, it's simply adding a value approaching 0 to the sum. How does that make the result incorrect?
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
