For your computer's FPU, 65 and 64.999998 **are** the same, it's just the way floating point numbers work. Just try it, go to the web site I linked above, enter 64.999998 in the first input field and press the "rounded" button: It will return 65. Now press the "not rounded" button: It returns as 64.999992.

This is how your CPU works. It has a limited amount of precision and the very last digit usually has no significance whatsoever. (Yes I am aware of double precision floats. If you want your scene to take twice as much RAM, sure, then they are an option...)
