Re: [TCML] Divide and conquer



I'd be surprised if frequency response were the only problem, but if so,
mightn't that be calibrated and accounted for? This is just an
experimental measurement, after all. When researchers design
experiments, calibrating out an uneven response is done all the time
with exotic sensors.
