Since Pd only has 19bits of integer resolution
are you sure about this? i seem to recall matju explaining its 23 bits or so..
PDa uses 19 bits for its fixed point representation, maybe thats where you got this number from ...

999,999 is the largest number that can be represented in Pd without scientific notation. 999,999 in binary is:
1111 0100 0010 0011 1111
But Pd cannot represent this number exactly:
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 (1,048,575)
but it can represent this number exactly:
0111 1111 1111 1111 1111 (524,287)
Therefore Pd can represent 19-bits of integer accurately.
