A full-detail water read that sampled nothing (tiles not loaded) fell back
to the geoid, and while a full read ran, a loaded-tile read with one coarse
low probe did the same: on the Seine either dropped the eye ~27 m under the
water until the next read. An empty read is now no answer, and once a
full-detail read has answered only full-detail reads change the height.
The read sequence numbers go: only one full-detail read runs at a time,
so a late read can never be older than one already applied.
