More generally, the model shouldn't make assumptions about the
view. In this case, the fact that the fader 'ends' at -100 dB,
and that consequently this value should be taken to mean 'off',
is an implementation detail of the view. The model should allow
gains below -100 dB (up to some reasonable value).

Anyway, for me it's time to go to sleep. And seeing your TZ
and knowing the date I suspect a turkey is waiting for you :-)
