mentioned by several writers. I would add that some few (e.g Cecil)
may only read the last paragraph as vindication of their proof of a
concept that bares scant relation to the point offered.

To do so would be to misunderstand my post.

Simply, I doubt that Tom's experiment, as far as described, was likely to
reveal the value of Beta, except were resonance was observed (which implies
90° one way phase change along the equivalent line). The test setup was
unlikely to reveal the true undisturbed resonance of the helix alone, there
would be better configurations.

To my mind, Tom's experiment doesn't prove Cecil et al wrong, but that
should not be taken in any way to imply support for their proposition.
