Hmm, I don't think I agree. The exponential curve causes the lower 
range to have a higher resolution, i.e. turning the knob has less 
effect, but allows for a lot more fine grained control (hence the 
1/1.001). As opposed to the higher range, where a subtle change in 
the knob causes a big difference and it is therefore a lot more 
difficult to control small changes in the high range. 

But I don't want to start a war on semantics here ;-) I think we both 
have the correct picture. It's just how we define control.

Greetz,
