Absolutely false, Jim. Please produce my posting that said
that superposition of x and Y *must* somehow change x and y.

I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood what you meant when you angrily
insisted that waves interact.

You must have indeed (deliberately?) misunderstood. If you would quote
me, as you have demanded that I quote you, you would not be so quick
to obfuscate. The key word in your statement of what I said is "must".
I have NEVER said that two waves MUST interact. All I have ever said
is that it is possible for two waves to interact. If only two waves
out of 100 trillion waves interact, then everything I have said is
true and what you have said is false.

I have said just the opposite.

I must admit to not having seen that post.

It's back there somewhere but I will repeat the concept here.

1. Billions of waves don't superpose, i.e. billions of waves don't
interact.

2. Billions of waves superpose without interference, i.e. billions of
waves
don't interact.

3. Billions of waves interfere without interaction.

4. Sometimes two waves interfere with interaction between the two
waves. The interaction results in permanent change. The two reflected
waves involved in the cancellation of reflections at the surface of a
thin film cannot be recovered.

Please stop refusing to produce my postings that you are quoting as
you have a pathologicao tendency to misquote me.
