Well, 21 is the result truncated to 6 bits. Perhaps someone thought
the result would be 6 bits when they calculated the original result.
Note that the widest object if the LHS is not considered is 6 bits.
Perhaps the comment got fixed to say the width was 16 bits, but the
resulting printed value did not get adjusted accordingly.
