well, the cos~ object does not internally use a 4 points interpolation.
see code : 
*out++ = f1 + frac * (f2 - f1);
it's a 2 points linear interpolation.

i don't think there is a correct interpolation algorythm.
I heard that software like reaktor use very diferent algorythm, with lot's more points, in order to have a band limited interpolation.
