Yes we know it does, but some of us think the warning is perfectly
legitimate.

It's also easier to get off a mountain by jumping, but most people prefer to
climb down.

The point is not whether or not POV strays from what you specify in the
scene file (which is what it's doing), but that it should tell you when it
does so. There's nothing wrong with it's replacing the 0's with 1's, it
just needs to tell you since this is not logical behavior.
