Indeed, the paths don't line up--thank you for making me aware of it, as
I have not checked that in the first place.  However, let's concentrate
on my own test below.

Of course that can be.  I am human, and humans make mistakes sometimes.
 And of course, I'm able to admit, when I have done so.

help out.
