+    This function decompresses the rates data from 16-bit integers
+    to 32-bit integers. The compressed integer (packed) combines
     two parts:
 
     1. Mantissa: Represents the significant digits of the value.
     2. Exponent: Determines how much to scale the mantissa (using powers of 2).
 
     These parts are packed together into a single 16-bit integer.
-    Numbers up to 212 are uncompressed.
