- You may find it hard to believe, but your expectations are based on an
- incorrect understanding of the system, as jj very clearly pointed out.
- You're coming at this from expectations based on pure digital-to-digital
- copying (i.e., "same bits"), and that's NOT what's going on here. If it
- were, I (and, I'm sure, jj) would be in complete agreement with you.
