How fine a hair is this splitting for the quite possibly disproportionate press it gets on list? Where does this practically belong in the action function triage hierarchy? Is it fundamental, or incidental-if we have the slack to consider it as important esoterica? What's the real smoke/flame ratio, or is there one? > As I mentioned, I have seen the spectrum from no key > lead to lots of it, and it is definitely noticable. > These were well controlled experiments; the actions > all had similar hammer weights and ratios. > > All the best, > > Vladan Which is why I ask. I'd like to see some real cause and effect relationships connecting here, if anyone has information that intersects. Ron N
