Correct, *but* you lose precision with all denormalized numbers. My point is
that if we are denormalizing floating point numbers already, maybe that should
trigger a warning. And what is the difference between

   dw  1.4344e-7
and
   dw  1.4344e-8

The first one ends up with 1 bit (or maybe a little more) of precision, while
the next one is zero.

But I think the above problem is different - how to handle denormalization in
general?

This bug is just not to fetch data before the array and stick it in the number,
which is even worse - it's now just (not-random) number generation, haha ;)
