 Infrequently upstream data changed and introduced some incomprehensible white space changes as a consequence and sometimes just delivered 999.9 values. Pain to maintain. And since most relevant values came as floats there was no other solution than to use bc for floating point math & comparisons, since bash can't do it.  Infrequently upstream data changed and introduced some incomprehensible white space changes as a consequence and sometimes just delivered 999.9 values.
