Yes, I arrived at the same conclusion. The various code snippets in the article don't compute the same "function". The order between the min() and max() matters even when done "by hand". This is apparent when min is greater than max as the results differ in the choice of the boundaries. Funny that for such simple functions the discussion can become quickly so difficult/interesting.
