<html> <body> Well Dale, and boys - First, remember to play nice. Second, the tragedy/irony is that we've flown off on a tangent of a tangent, which is, of course, mathematically incorrect but figuratively   accurate enough for me.  Not only did the unfortunate fortune cookie wreak havoc on an innocent little thread, now, even the attempt to resuscitate it (the thread, not the cookie) is a mis-launch.  Talk about so little time, how many bad analogies can reside in a couple of sentences. So, let's drop the issue about Paul's signature quote, or at least re-title it.  This all started because it inadvertently got copied to the top of a few posts.  You have to stand in awe, in this age of technology, how much misunderstanding can derive from font size and style. And the reticence to employ the occasional emoticon. Jon, I think you've mis-read Paul, unless it's his capitalized name in his address that you're objecting to.  That's been bugging me for years!  (emoticon here) Dale's effort to re-title the conversation fails on two counts.  First, it's still not talking about false beats.  Second, Paul doesn't want to call them false beats, so in order to get back to the real subject, we either have to explore the semantic implications, which is not altogether a bad thing, or else we have to, temporarily or simultaneously (in a different discussion?) get back to discussing the physical phenomena, thus laying the groundwork for another big argument on the subject.  Maybe, Paul, the re-naming of the phenomenum /  phenomena could be the ultimate achievement of the successful investigation!
