+ * average. For each 32-bit number, there are 601M numbers differing by 16
+ * bits, and 89% of the numbers differ by at least 12 bits. Note that more
+ * than 16 differing bits also implies a correlation with inverted bits. Thus
+ * we take 1024 random numbers and compare each of them to the other ones,
+ * counting the deviation of correlated bits to 16. Constants report 32,
+ * counters 32-log2(TEST_SIZE), and pure randoms, around 6 or lower. With the
+ * u32 total, TEST_SIZE may be as large as 4096 samples.
