The points in between are used by the compensation when the curve gets scaled according to the ideal gas law. If that low dip goes down to about 5% of 1000 that's a solenoid output of 50 of 1000. A change of 1 step results in that 50 becoming 49 which is a change of 2%. That's a huge change. If he closes the LSN he can move the curve up. Say he makes it so the curve low point is now around 25% of range. That's 250 of 1000. A change from 250 to 249 is 0.4%. you can see that raising the curve that way increases the resolution between values so you can get better control over the mixture.
Yes, I know, however you said "I would shoot for the low end of the curve to be near +50 or so."

"low end of the curve" could mean idle, or it could mean the lowest point on the curve. Also, Chris's radio uses a -100/+100 scale and don't think you want either idle or the lowest point on the curve set to +50.
