Do you have the same difficulty imagining how the receive clock might be generated/selected with bit 4 of the control register?

"This bit controls the clock source to the Receiver. A 0 causes the Receiver to operate at 1/16 an external clock" while "A 1 causes the Receiver to operate at the same baud rate as the transmitter".

Sounds about the same as "bits 0,1,2,3 select the transmitter baud rate, which can be ['0000',] at 1/16 an external clock rate or ['xxxx > 0',] one of 15 other baud rates controlled by the internal baud rate generator."

Seems clear to me; what am I missing?
