Once again, Craig makes distinctions when there is no difference.
Honestly, I can't tell if this is just an example of arguing for
argument's sake, or an example of just not understanding the issues.

Maybe for that one specific example, you might be right. But in general,
you are not.
Early receivers, for example, do not do 8K COFDM. Nor were they
particularly adept at managing pre-echo. So it is simply not true that
you can switch to any other mode and all will work.

Oh, you mean, like when the BBC will introduce HDTV? All receivers will
be able to use that?
Craig, you just have to learn to make consistent arguments.
