Float data not replicated exactly



Why are float values not replicated exactly? For example:
33.333333333333343 -> 33.333333333333336
233.33333333333331 -> 233.33333333333334

I saw a previous post about this, but I'm not satisfied with the answer
"float is an imprecise data type". Note that I don't have this problem with
DTS, let alone backup/restore. And it isn't meerly an issue of display
precision: SQL treats these as different values in <> conditions and the
values return different checksums (which is the real problem for us).
