I feel like a crazy person. What do the numbers mean!?

What are the odds that two related numbers intuitively should be identical but instead split apart after 4 decimal places? This keeps happening to me time and time again and I feel like I've joined the occult, looking for patterns for the sake of patterns instead of following the math.

Haha I'm using numbers with 500 decimal places just because I'm paranoid my results can't be trusted.
Wouldn't I like to know?!
