But no, L. Ron Hubbard had DC-8's (or DC-9's) in mind when he was making up that religious malarky.

THAT bit of unreality is what offends you? Methinks you're stretching to find fault. It IS of course, Fantasy.
We're talking about a world where faeries, trolls, etc., live inside of the earth (undetected by humans) and utilize high technology the likes of which make us look like cavemen. (And might, at a stretch, explain that the Mpeg video in question DID leave traces of itself...)
I'm reminded of A.C. Clarke:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
