How does the DM42 accuracy compare to other calculators ?

I just wanted to point out that the non-zero imaginary part is the exact and desired result which a correctly working calculator is supposed to return.

It's essentially the same story as with calculating (√2)². If the result on a 10- or 12-digit calculator is exactly 2 there's something going on behind your back. ;-)
