induction!? mind=blown - that makes perfect sense... I always
  thought, "Oh it arcs, which..." and then my mind follows a
  straight line through, and branching off as if a lightning bolt
  through the system. But my mental model was flawed.

  Oh that's excellent to know. Induction effectively makes it a
  low-pass filter and phase changer... so.. if I'm understanding
  it right.. it seems to effectively bulldoze its way through the
  system... might also explain the low "buzz" noise [frequency is
  frequency tongue emoticon ] am I getting it ok? I welcome
  corrections here.
