As already mentioned > many times already: As a serious tester, I want > to know what I am doing and why a program plays > strong(er) or weak(er). > Kurt Again a very simple answer, Kurt: You _know_ what you are doing - setting a special parameter to a specific _possible_ (i.e. _allowed_) value! And you _know_ why the program plays stronger - simply because this parameter value seems to be better! But we had this discussion already long time ago in CSS-forum, and I know, that I can´t convince you. Here´s another example from my own (other) hobby: I have a PC-controlled amateur radio receiver, which allows tuning steps of 1 Hz. Now I have a control software for this receiver, which only allows me to change the frequency in steps of 100Hz. My question: shouldn´t I use the ´finer´ tuning steps of 1HZ, if this would give a much better reception, only because the software doesn´t allow it?? (Vielleicht schaffe ich es doch noch, Dich zu überzeugen ... ;-)) Best regards, Franz.
