- I thought that the whole point of a simulator -- especially one like
- this -- is to reproduce *exactly* the actual kit. So how is it that
- this set of switches operated differently? In this case the simulator
- acted to exibit a problem which didn't occur on the real kit, but
- what would have been the consequences if it had been the other way
- around?
