If it's most true to the source then it is "right"...

When I go see a band I expect to see (hear) the drummer hit the drums from the outside of the drum, not somehow from within the drum. And I expect the front head of the kick drum to move forward towards the audience on beater impact.

Viewed as a wave form (see post #44 above)... what goes up must come down. Right now I just can't think of where 'what comes down must go up' occurs initially in nature.

But yes, as said, it's an interesting topic.
