    The art of using a digital calculator is being able to put in a problem that would take you a couple of minutes to solve, get the calculator’s answer in a couple of seconds, AND be able to spot-check the reasonable-ness of the answer in a couple of seconds more. Blind trust is ridiculously risky, cutting your speed by half to move from 99% correct to 99.99% correct is well worth the extra time and effort invested.
