Intermediate rounding of digits in multi-step calculations accumulates significant numerical error

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that intermediate rounding of digits in multi-step calculations accumulates significant numerical error?

The accumulation of numerical error through intermediate rounding in multi-step calculations is a fundamental and axiomatic principle of numerical analysis, making it common knowledge that requires no external citation.

The analysis

The claim describes a textbook definition of round-off error propagation in numerical analysis. By definition, truncating or rounding intermediate values introduces small errors that compound over successive operations. This is a foundational mathematical truism rather than a contestable empirical hypothesis, so it is classified as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE.
