Jan,
I think you missed the point. You need to measure the gnats WHOLE ass - not
its ass h*le. The size of the aperture relative to the phase of the matter
passing becomes mute when using the RMS value of the WHOLE ass width.
Thus, you get a HGA, RMS. The Texas thing can be explained within 2 standard
deviations.
