So in mandating bit-identical results, not only in calculations but also

I don't think that IEEE 754 specifies I/O, but I could be wrong.

IEEE 754 is all about giving the illusion of truth in
floating-point when, if anything, they should be warning users don't be
fooled.

I don't think that IEEE 754 mentions truth.  It does, however, specify
the inexact "exception" (actually a flag), which allows you to find
out if the results of the computations are exact or if some rounding
was involved.
