Agree on the whole that summing is summing is summing. Most DAWs these days will use floating point (either 32bit or double precision) and A+B=C no matter what.

In Integer math.  In floating point math, A + B = C +/- (very small rounding error).

At one time the USA's NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) used Integer math to track their satellites.  I don't know if NASA is still using Integer math or has gone to Floating Point math for the calculations now.

Best,
