If by actual non-deterministic behavior you mean behavior that it is
impossible for the user to constrain to become deterministic no matter
what he does, then I would agree.  But I don't see Shabtay's batching
`knobs' being in this category except perhaps for the free-run switch
(was it you or Shabtay that first introduced that?).
