Well, I think
0.9999 * 0.9998 * ... * 0.9981
looks simpler than
9999! / (9980! * 10E76).
The second expression is of course equivalent to the first. It's less
ambiguous (doesn't require the reader to fill in the `...'). It's
just that, when *I* see the second one, it doesn't immediately tell me
what to do.
No big deal...
