Is the maximum # of taps from delay object in gen really 15 and not 16?

this is a question with the same relevance as the thread you started about "documentation improvements". they simply could've documented 'delay' op better(you asked why '15 and not 16' but neither of these are numbers relevant to 'delay' techniques in general, unless you generally think that computing in terms of powers of 2 should be the reasoning behind every maximum? no mention of these numbers in the docs, either... in any case, it's still just a confusion that could be settled by missing docs).

also, another ridiculous thing about gen~ docs -> that little open-book icon....[EDIT: OOPS! This was actually mentioned in the related thread i link above already 😅 (i sleep on a couch so every side is the wrong side of the bed to wake up on 🥸)]

another thing i don't like about gen~ docs... sometimes i forget details about how 'function scope' and 'operator scope' works in gen~. this is a more intermediate subject that could use some description in the docs(or perhaps it is there but just not in a place that's obvious to find yet according to tags i searched), instead, i have to come and search the forums for 'gen~ codebox function' and get threads like this that mention similar weirdness but don't always carry the solution:
