  BTW, do you now agree that this was not true?

  If you give me an image file and ask me "why the word at offset
0x12345 in the file is 0x89ABCDEF?", I can answer that by opening the
image file externally with InterpreterSimulator, examine the bits and
answer something like: "this is a second slot of an Array that points
to a number object, and the array is pointed to by this, this and ths
object.", etc.
