Damnit, you are correct, there is no such enforcement :/

OK, that's what I wanted to see.

You can't. But it doesn't really matter here because I wanted to check
what your mouse is actually sending after the initialization.

So if I read correctly: the mouse is sending high res data but
evemu-recorder shows one REL_WHEEL event every 7/8 clicks?
