You have set up a multiplication where you didn't intend. That
is 1 <= 4 evaluates to True and (outB[[1 + 1 ;; 3, 1]] ==
ConstantArray[0, {3 - (1 + 1) + 1}]) must have evaluated to
True. So your input becomes True And True which is seem by
Mathematica as a multiplication and evaluates to And True^2

Replace And with the appropriate infix notation (&&) then see if
you get what you expect.
