That isn't a measurement. I need a direct measurement to TEST
whether your "add" rule actually works. You're just using the rule

No PD,
I am using basic math that is known to work for adding miles
fine.

No, you cannot *know* something works without testing it.
You can *assume* something works, or suppose it should
work, but you cannot *know* until you test it.  Further,
things should be tested across the widest possible range
of circumstances, not just in your living room next to
the couch.

So, I should be testing basic math?

In science you test EVERYTHING.

You are priceless!
