We're not going to just drop yingjieMiao - they originally identified the issue.

Ah, I can see what happened now. We originally used a barrier method that ended at x = -1.5, which was approaching, but not quite, -pi/2.

A global minimum of sin(x) is indeed -pi/2, and (-pi/2)^2 is indeed less than 3, so it is valid.
