Supposedly, it was designed to work at those levels.

As one scientist put it "It is it's own prototype."

	It must be fun to lead a life completely unburdened by reality. -- JayUtah "On two occasions, I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
