Would any competent optical physicist suggest that it is valid to
study the conditions associated with interfering coherent light waves
inside an interferometer by introducing an incoherent light source
into the system? Why would any competent RF engineer suggest that the
system source conditions associated with interfering coherent RF waves
can be studied by introducing an incoherent test signal?
