Please take a look here:

Now, as far as I can tell, converting a floating point number to a string to compare their values is a pretty boneheaded thing to do, and this is the 'fail' of the post, or am I completely wrong?

He's using strings to round the floating-point number - to, uh, one decimal - for comparison, rather than using epsilons like everyone else. So, yes, I guess that is the 'fail'. Someone needs to brush up on positional notation.
