of working range will have 1 to 100 or so 'tiny dots' on it - depending on the 
distance it is at. Which is why we have roughly the range we get; why we have 
such a near perfect 1/sigma callibration curve and why the range of values you 
get it so odd - and why they filter certain types of noise so badly.

a fun test would be to use a mirror to project a few extra pixels onto a flat 
area - and see if that area suddenly jumps 'forward'.
