From: Bill Spitzak <spit...@gmail.com>

Simpsons uses cubic curve fitting, with 3 samples defining each cubic. This
makes the weights of the samples be in a pattern of 1,4,2,4,2...4,1, and then
dividing the result by 3.

The previous code was using weights of 1,2,6,6...6,2,1. Since it divided by
3 this produced about 2x the desired value (the normalization fixed this).
Also this is effectively a linear interpolation, not Simpsons integration.

With this fix the integration is accurate enough that the number of samples
could be reduced a lot. Likely even 16 samples is too many.
