What you seem to be missing, Tom, is that if the two signals
are not coherent, interference is not possible.

There is NO WAY I'm interested in moving to a one-dimensional world
that requires me to special-case a particular type of wave to get the
right answer and FORSAKE the multi-dimensional linear circuits world
I'm in, that quite accurately describes what happens regardless of the
content of forward and reverse. Your one-dimensional world apparently
limits you to thinking about interference in a way that mine does
not. I may post the results of a 'speriment I'm setting up in a day
or two that may spark some interesting discussion. Till then, I'm
outta here.
