-equivalent. If the first game value is low by ``ABS_TOL`` and the second
-is high by ``ABS_TOL``, then the total could be off by ``2*ABS_TOL``. We
-also subject solutions to translations and scalings, which adds to or
-scales their error. If the first game is low by ``ABS_TOL`` and the
-second is high by ``ABS_TOL`` before scaling, then after scaling, the
-second could be high by ``RANDOM_MAX*ABS_TOL``. That is the rationale
