Yes.

No.

It is, however, more than possible that what you *think* you're doing is not 
what you're doing. Be aware that checking your thinking against your thinking 
and finding your thinking agrees with your thinking is not actually a very good 
test.

You may have to read that sentence several times to let it sink in. The fact 
that things are not working as you expect is down to one of two possible causes:

1) The software does not work as advertised
2) Your expectations are incorrect

The lesson life teaches us is to be humble and to start with 2. When you have 
exhausted the possibility of disproving 2, it is time to start considering 1.

As Ben suggests, post up an m-file or fraction thereof.
