I'm a little surprised this is more robust.

Maybe something to do with storing the result of the operations before the comparison to eps?

Or doing 0 < EPS * 1e-27 is not well defined (in the sense the RHS is set to 0?)

yeah I think not dividing is maybe technically better. But changing < to <= and storing the pieces could for sure matter.

Debug build of artemis crashed in the constants comparison (of
hspecifically). Seemed like a stupid floating point problem that was solved by making the comparison<=instead of<. I also went ahead and split out the difference and scale into separate variables for possible future debugging.
