Out of context, I'd certainly agree. But from the context, I assumed
it was clear that the 0.6 was a Python float. I probably should have
made this clearer. My statement should probably have been something
like: a literal 0.6 in Python code does not have the same mathematical
value as the rational (or real) number 3/5.
