I?m going to show a few examples of how Decimals violate the fundamental laws of mathematics just as floats do.

Decimal is also uses sign and mantissa, except it's Base 10. I think Decimal should use numerators and denominators, because they are more accurate.

So sqrt(2) should be represented as an exact fraction? Do you have infinite RAM?

That's why even Decimal defies the laws of mathematics.
