Yes, agreed on all points. I'd be surprised this would make a big practical
difference.
The difference is there, but at worst it's one least significant bit per
operation when floats are involved.
It's tiny in practice.

Agreed. Although in this case you'd have a being a Moment and b and c being
spans, so either association would be correct
(and identical in value given they're rationals). But yes, yes of course,
in general.

Right.

Yes, that'd be my expectation too.

Absolutely.
