I agree with Jim in that the argument that "you can't see it at 4X" is
pretty weak when in fact someone already found it (presumably at a lower
mag).

I think that you'ld find you'ld be better off dispositioning this in MRB
and being "up front" with you customer as opposed to attempting to
convince them you really can't see it at 4X.  (I'm constatly suprised at
what can be seen at 4X).
