I think you are right.

on mouseUp
   set the numberFormat to "0.#################"
   put (1+.000000000000001) & linefeed after field "Report"
   put (1+.000000000000001) = 1 & linefeed after field "Report"
end mouseUp

1.00000000000000111

Equality between numbers seems to either have a tolerance, 
round/truncate digits or round/truncate internal bits.  
(Mathematicians would concerned about the first; the tolerance 
method means = is not an "equivalence relation" and "transitivity" 
goes out the window.)
