The perspective.
Smith's emphasis on calculation is useful when small differences in quotation or timing produce different answers. Recreate the examples in a spreadsheet or calculator and document the inputs instead of simply comparing final figures. The aim is to recognize why two seemingly similar bond calculations can be measuring different things.
