that kind of thing could happen, extreme like that, maybe rare, milder version, very common actually, say, every step introduces some errors, <= 0.5/65536 at int16, literally "very small" errors, but that's just ONE step, what happens if you got a process chain, right, errors will accumulate , they will grow fatter and fatter gradually, and finally, they won't just be there as "small" errors, they will become large errors, if you just got operations like +/-, errors might stay small, now imagine, what about operations like ^, exp, log
