And that point is a rather interesting point of discussion.  However, since they
have several thousand tunable parameters, I suspect that it is a bit more
sophisticated than the average PC fare.

How many such parameters are there in (for instance) Stobor [hardwired or
tunable]?

The complexity of a system is a function of its inputs and outputs to some
degree.

It is a miracle that they could debug something with that many inputs.  It must
have been a nightmare.
