How about, "The Market Window tab on the Theory window".

Your calculation is indeed correct. Sorry.

Yes, I think this would help.

I agree that GnuBg is arguably correct, but I still found it confusing.
Perhaps the truth table for match cube reports should go:

                                                Double Action   Take Action
Not Too Good    No Double       Take    No Double               Take
Not Too Good    No Double       Pass                    
Not Too Good    Double  Take    Double          Take
Not Too Good    Double  Pass    Double          Pass
Too Good                No Double       Take    Play On         Take
Too Good                No Double       Pass    Play On         Pass
Too Good                Double  Take    Too Good                Take
Too Good                Double  Pass    Too Good                Pass

I've used "Play On" for the cases where you are Too Good and Not Good
Enough. It is less descriptive but shorter and easier to fit in the space
available.
I don't think there is a situation which is theoretically Not Too Good, No
Double, Pass.

A Wrong Double About Too Good would have to be above the doubling point.
