Comment:

 Replying to [comment:5 pramsey]:
 > The estimated bounds can be smaller (will almost always be smaller) than
 the real bounds (particularly if there are only a few records at the
 extrema) but can never be larger (since in order to be larger it would
 have to sample a geometry that wasn't in the full extent calculation, not
 possible).

 Thanks for your reply.

 I totally understand and agree with what you said.
