It must be quite simple, as long as we can tweak a new mode into
engine in which it would _not_ apply random shifts to move values,
but instead would report the scales of those shifts to the caller.
I haven't looked at the exact math involved, but I'm sure it can
be done strictly with theory of probability, not involving any
statistical methods of probability assessment.
