As I said, I didn't claim a reasonable user would feel good about it,
and all you're saying here is that they wouldn't feel good about it.
I'm not arguing that they should feel good about it.

I said that the docs explained the computation clearly enough that a
reasonable user - who read the docs and earnestly tried to apply them
- _could_ predict the results.  And you just showed that you, for
example, can predict them.  Since you're the very definition of
"reasonable", I close my case for that ;-)
