In RGB mode, it certainly appears to be...  I've printed that, and don't see
any visible transitions anywhere...in any light that I have available...
And in order to eliminate the "magic 1000 tone dithering", I've cut the
verticals in half, and compare them with tones further down until I can
visibly notice a difference...and I've got to go a tone or two down to
notice a difference.

I'm curious, can anyone else see any "transitions" or adjacent tones as
being different in the flush image (FlushPC.psd)?  I'm also curious what a
128 step wedge would visually look like...
