Thanks for the informative post, but I'm dubious about this bit. The error
correction algorithm is a simple mathematical process, which I would expect
to have a fixed correction range for a given coding scheme. I suppose it is
just possible that there is a shortcut, requiring fewer calculations (ie
cheaper chip), with less correction ability.
