More details on that profile. Where *exactly* did the number 3956 come from?
How did you distinguish between 3956 and 4000 or 4096?  What numbers do you
have that show an actual *measurable* improvement over 1000?

In other words, convince us that people can actually see the difference
between 1000 and 3956.
