Eigenvalues, singular values, rank
Accurate is not a property of a method
A bidiagonal matrix whose every entry is 1 or 4096 has singular values spanning thirty decades. On it, the method recommended for small singular values loses the small one by one and a half per cent, the sweep with the theorem behind it does not converge at all, and the shift the theorem is a warning about gets every value to 5·10⁻¹⁶. Nothing there contradicts the theory.
