I know that, Gene. What I have been describing is a history
of the physics of optics. When the theories were first being
developed, all optical physicists could so was measure the
average power density of the light waves. The theories
based on those average power density measurements are
still good today so they must have known what they were
doing. However, if you would like to discredit those great
optical physicists, based on the better measurement
techniques available today, be my guest.
