I remember reading the spec for the flow meter that was used. While it may have had mechanical digit readings that were that coarse, the flow meter has an available electronic option that provides a pulse for each turn of the internal rotor which corresponds to about 1 liter of flow (again recollection). It could be an upset/surprise if Penon testifies that he used electronic monitoring of the flow meter. Still it does not account for the uniform and coarse flows reported each day.
