When I write an application for other people's use, I want to know what's wrong
with it, so I can fix it ASAP. That's how professionals work. On the assumption
that the people working on LibreOffice take pride in their work, I reported the
problems I found. I've done all I can by reporting the bugs, by telling anyone
I know to stay away from LibreOffice Calc, and by not using it myself for work
that must be correct.

Other users who aren't as careful might not notice there's a problem, but if
either of these bugs ever causes loss of life or financial loss, the law may
force them to figure out why, and then LibreOffice developers will probably
hear about it as well.

If you want to close the bug, it's obviously your prerogative, however,
pretending it's not a bug doesn't resolve it. It sounds to me like you believe
users should use spreadsheets the way you think spreadsheets should be used. I
doubt you can imagine some of the calculations spreadsheets are actually used
for or why.

As I explained about the MOD() bug: if a word processor or presentation graphic
(eyewash) program has a bug, lives and money aren't at risk. Spreadsheets are
different: the ceilings over your and you family's heads, and the bridges you
drive over, may well have been designed using spreadsheets. Random wrong
answers are worse than crashes; they're unacceptable.
