I'm going to try to put this nicely:

What you provided is not a problem with integrate. Instead, you provided a
rather unintelligible and badly-written piece of code that (miraculously)
seems to work, though it's not well documented so I have no idea if 1.3e-21
is what you want to get.

Let's try this again: per your original request, what is the problem with
integrate?

If instead you feel there's something wrong with your code, might I suggest
you just say that and ask for help, rather than passing the blame onto a
perfectly useful base function.

Oh, and since you asked that I propose something: comment your code.
