Dear Vadim,

Thank you for bringing to our attention the excellent web page 
concerning linear to log conversion.

>means?

>"This assumes that the log amplification is perfect (i.e., each of
>the four decades is accurate) which we know is likely a fiction. The
>first and last decades can be very inaccurate"?

For an explanation of errors in log to linear conversion etc please 
see the following reference:
Schmid I, Schmid P, Giorgi JV (1988) Cytometry 9: 533-538
