Your comparison wasn't quite right in places, but I'll skip that for 
now.  What is important is what happens when you try to implement sqrt 
for boost::rational numbers.  Or sin.  Or log.  Or a host of other 
functions.  For example, what sort of answer would you get for sin(60 
degrees) * sqrt(3) / 3?  (The exact answer is 1/2.)
