I've always wondered how he managed to have "NO SIGNAL RESPONSE IN THIS

well.

I guessed that Arnold Bailey just assumed perfection in some instances
for practical purposes. My own experience has been that differences of
less than one dB were not to be confided in. Reg Edwards used to speak
of "delusions of accuracy", and I think he grasped a lot of wisdom
there.

I was being a bit facetious, Richard. I couldn't resist after looking
at the page, and knowing that there really could not have been "no
response".
