COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the well-written document!

In line with Adam and Ekr's comments, it is perhaps plausible to RECOMMEND a
concrete Very Large Value (of 2**53-1 or such) while discussing the cases in which
other values would be needed.  I agree with Ekr that discussing what happens if
you guess wrong and use a too-small value is important, but it also seems that
understanding how likely that is to happen can be considered part of the Experiment.
