It's nit-picking, I know, but I wouldn't call that "nearly 0.0" or "nearly 5.0" volts.
Thanks Alan for catching my "goof". It would have been more accurate for me to say something like "rising in the direction towards 5V" or "falling in the direction towards 0V" rather than assigning an absolute value. I will update my original post with your values of 0.625 volts and 4.375 volts.
