[R] precision of std. error in summary

[Berton Gunter]

1. ?options  (Look for "scipen")

2. std error = Value/t value

3. Why do you care with these values?! Seems silly. It's probably off by
more than you're worrying about due to numerical error, deviation from
assumptions, arbitrariness of tuning constants, etc.
