In a linear converter, when the actual sample value falls between these
values (solid blue lines), it is quantized (or rounded) to the
nearest value.
This introduces a quantization error that will be uniformly
distributed between 0 and 1/2 (error will never be greater than a
factor of 1/2 the increment).
