Hey @apolyton, we’ll definitely undo the derailment and/or the retroratcheting if there was any confusion at all about how that stuff works. I don’t believe in voiding it due to the closeness of 0.0011 to zero though. (: Bright lines are a fundamental tenet of Beeminder! Imagine if we did call that close enough, then we’d have to define somewhere what the criterion for “close enough” was. It would add confusion, complexity, and fuzziness. It’s an instance Beeminder’s no-free-lunch theorem – namely, that any attempt to make Beeminder more lenient necessarily backfires and makes it harder overall to stay on track towards goals.
