Thanks for your explanation, it is very clear. Nevertheless, I think it
will save us some argument against a certain group of propagandists
after September if you somehow clarify this in the documentation -- as
you said in the DNG mail list, "propaganda works", so making the blurb
more distortion-proof might reduce productivity wasted in malicious
arguments.

Well, it is more of a "mathematical" ugliness to me -- a workaround is
also trivial. If the proposed change is applied, it will make the model
(very) slightly better with nearly negligible cost, so this is really up
to the party in charge: I usually choose to apply such changes, but this
time it finally depends on your taste.

That will be nice :)

Thanks :)
