I cannot read your mind, I can only interpret the words you choose to 
write. You said

See, I think the very existence of math.fsum() already violates "there

If sum satisfies the existence of one obvious way, how does math.fsum 
violate it? sum exists, and is obvious, regardless of whatever other 
solutions exist as well.
