Frontlight completely off at 0 for dark text on light background firmware 5.9.0.6, fresh out of the box put into airplane mode ASAP.

I don't know why the falsehood that the light can't be completely turned off keeps getting repeated.

On November 20th, I posted a picture of an Oasis 2 next to a Voyage in a dark room with both frontlights set at 0. The exposure is a full second at F2.8. There is no light at all coming from the Oasis. At frontlight 1, the Oasis is quite a bit brighter than the Voyage at frontlight 1.
