The fact is though that we're specifying a precise value.
1.4

We're not telling VB to work with 1.4444444444444444444444444, but rather 1.4

If it were that long value, then it would be rounded.
But 1.4 fits into the range for the single and double datatypes, so it wouldn't need to be rounded
could it be that the accurracy is being lost with the 1.36 assignment before the math operation???
