I get k[sub]w[/sub] to be less than 0.65, does anyone know what this means? I double checked with a coworker but they did not know and my calculation seemed to be right.

I think this just means if it is calculated above 1, use 1, if calculated below 0.65 use 0.65, if between 1 and 0.65 use the calculated value.
