These are every important facts, and cannot be repeated enough. These kind of errors are small, but can be catastrophic for certain algorithms, such as numerical integration and the solving of partial differential equations. The theory behind minimizing these errors is bigger than one might suspect at first glance, and are definitely not trivial.
