I wonder if the above will be stand in court when a bank customer complains
to the judge that they deposited $5,000 into their saving account
in top of what allready they had in there, only to be told by the bank
that now they have a negative balance.

'The result of an overflow isn't necessarily the wrong number' the bank
attorney replies. (flaged on the side by the bank top Java consultant ready
to supply more therotical evidence that supports such a statment).
