// The calculated value has some accuracy issues which can lead to problems for implementations that expect exact values.
// To avoid this, I'll store the unmodified volume to return it when read here.
// This mostly solves the issue, but the initial read has no stored value and the volume can also change though external influences.
// To avoid ill effects, I check if the stored volume is somewhere in the same range as the calculated volume.
