+    Scaling the return value to a different interval using multiplication
+    or addition (a so-called affine transformation) might result in a bias
+    in the resulting value as floats are not equally dense across the number
+    line. As not all values can be exactly represented by a float, the
+    result of the affine transformation might also result in values outside
+    of the requested interval.
