Duncan,
I have had a brief look through some of my older services to find where I tested this but to no avail, I also tried to recreate the scenarios but it came up (as you outlined) with no difference between STET and =0.
I did at the time get a colleague to check the results as I was quite surprised and thought I may be going insane, said colleague confirmed the same outcome. However now that I can't recreate it and neither of us have details of exactly what we did I am certain that I am going insane!
So for the time being I will retract my comments and we should assume I was wrong
Should I have recollection of memory or notice similar results in the future I will post an update but until then it would appear I have just been imagining things.
