The break-even timeline is wrong by two years. This isn't Claude being lazy. It's a fundamental limitation of language models doing arithmetic. LLMs predict the next token — they don't execute deterministic algorithms. When you need 6.5% APR × $420,000 × 360 months, you need actual code to run. Not a prediction. This is the problem MCP (Model Context Protocol) solves. The problem: LLMs hallucinate numbers I've been working with AI assistants for financial and fitness calculations for a while, and the pattern is consistent: Qualitative analysis: excellent Precise arithmetic: unreliable Ask Claude to explain the difference between compound and simple intere
