Hi Tom,

Yes, I believe you misinterpreted the misinterpretation ;-)

From my understanding, Martin believes the bottom line is the smallest
signal, and the top line is the largest signal.  I believe the smallest
signal, as shown by diagram, is the smallest measurable difference, and
largest is the top line minus the bottom line.

Do you understand the distinctions?

Regards,

Austin
