Clayton, I would definitely take issue with this statement. But I've
entered into this dialogue so many times in the past I don't really
want to get into it again. I would go farther and say that methods
other than quads can do it too.

However, that BO printing can render a scale workable and reproducable
down to increments of 256 is a valid statement based on your
experience, and that it is "enough" is supportable as well.
In other words, it probably doesn't matter.
