Maybe I'm just nitpicking or simply don't get it -
but shouldn't this actually read:

...a 4 bit sample could be scaled by a factor of _seventeen_...

or maybe

e.g., a 4 bit sample could be shifted left by 4 bit to represent a
sample value of depth 8 or even better multiplied by a factor of
0x11 (17) so that white pixels still map to white pixels (15*17=255)
