I'd like to make it a requirement that the algorithm produce an error if the encoder sent a value that is not possible if it were following the rules in the spec.  Example per the discussion in #2112:

MaxEntries = 10
TotalNumberOfInserts (decoder_base) = 2
WireLR = 18

This algorithm returns 17.  What is the guidance to convert this to an error?  Is it:

```
if lr > max_value:
  Error
```
