 The rule that "where A intersects B at P, P will be on both A and B" is a mathematical rule for the "real numbers" of which there are an infinite number. The finite quantity of numbers that a computer's floating point can represent end up looking like a piece of graph paper.

 If you draw a straight line on a piece of graph paper, mostly the line won't hit many graph crossing points. The same is true of lines in the world of the "floating point grid". The result is that the calculated intersection of two lines, frequently does not land on either of the lines, but instead lands on a (very very close) nearby point that is representable as a floating point number.

 In our example, the northernmost edge of the box will be a `LINESTRING(0 10, 80 10)` which in geometry is a horizontal straight line, but in geography is a great circle that curves slightly to the north, so much so that it passes to the north of our test 'POINT(40 10.1)'.

 In reasoning about geography, it is always important to remember that the **edges are great circles**. East/west lines north of the equator will bend north a little, and south of the equator will bend south a little.
