Yes thank you.
It figures that if one iteration has a non-sero probability of rounding error
then 30,000,000 of them will have 100% error rate.
So the gradual increase in error rate with exponent size (which would make
choosing ~30%
errror rate as the optimum) does not apply. We have effectively got a step
function.
The range for a given FFT size chooses itself.
