+Fixed precision point errors. During file upload, excel appended
+extra values; so instead of `BXD1,18.8,x,x`, you'd have
+`BXD1,18.8000001,20,x`. There are 2 parts to fixing this:
+
+- During generating the json file(when creating the diff), ignore
+ modifications where |ε| > 0.0001.
+
+- When listing diffs, ignore modification entries where |ε| > 0.0001.
+
+For this fix, the second bit was ignored, because it'll lead to
+unnecessarily complicated code, given that only one person has really
+been testing the system.
