Description
Section 18.4.3.2 is very poorly worded and results in an
output that is not useful. Specifically, this section
lumps strengths into 2 ranges. I do not see any reason
why this was done or why it would be useful to do this.

Even worse, the ranges put 'pull' (5) together with 'strong'
(6). Since it is common to put pullups onto busses, this
makes it impossible to use $dumpports as a bus contention
type of check.

Also, on the next to last line there is a typo. 5 is 'pull',
not 'large'.
