The pi example gave me a clue.

sin exponent
-61
-1.0q arcCos sin exponent
-64
What, I lost three bits?
Hmm fairly sure about my 256bits approximation of pi though...
-1.0q arcCos

3.1415926535897932385q
3.1415926535897932383
3.1415926535897932385q sin exponent
-63
Yes, there might be a problem for reading these extended precision.
