Can't get AddObservation to work, or plague of the Type Mismatch

[Micah]

Hi Ben,

Sincere thanks for your suggestion. Helped me to feel like I'm getting
somewhere in my understanding of E-basic, as I had the same idea.
Sadly neither CInt or CDbl used in that way change the error. I also
tried declaring erroraware and stopaccuracy as doubles, and tried
converting them into new variables that would be numbers. I'm not sure
I did that correctly however.

Thanks for your help- i'll be really excited if we can solve this.
