i thought that this indicated a willingness to change the very narrow 
focus to a slightly wider focus. i could be mistaken.

in this case a switch from a single data range to a bimodal data range 
would be a mistake. the amount of work would be as large as switching to 
a full data range, and the result much more limited.
