Uh, no, I didn't. I took you to task because you said that it can't be an array if it doesn't couple to the floor and celing. That's just silly.

I said I don't care because in my experience I haven't had a problem with it. My alignment causes a theoretical combing problem at slightly less than 10k. I have heard nulls when playing around with a frequency generator. I have never heard one when listening to music. YMMV for any number of reasons. But since these are my speakers and my ears, I don't care what you hear. I care only about what I hear.

Of course we shouldn't ignore it. But it's a far more complex issue in practicality that simply using a simple calculation and proclaiming the results to be cast in stone. Griffin's paper discusses this very subject on page 13.

The only mistake I've made is arguing with a self-proclaimed expert who can't admit that he made a simple and dumb mistake in a definition, and who then offers lies and strawman arguments to defend himself.
