Keith, thanks, but I don't think it's a matter of "right". In fact if
one wants to make sure proper use of science and language is
maintained, Steve may be "right" and common practice "wrong".
What it gets down to in the end for me, is what is most useful for the
work at hand. This method of calibration is the most developed by the
community and the most perfected by developers, for me it's invaluable.
I just won't call it "linearization" any more around Steve <G>. Who
knows, perhap's he'll come up with something equally useful, and then
I'll be all over it too.
