Christ! Please don’t try and explain something if you really don’t know what it is.

And yes I know my answer is unhelpful. But I don’t have time to draw the bow tie diagrams and plot the axes properly.
Now present, when challenged, a plot with an important difference BUT somehow, almost no less unintuitive in terms of displaying what matters
And finally stir in a further dash of confusion.
By all means though, enlighten me as to what the Y axis on a graph is, because I didn’t already know.
@bloor interesting way to present a Fourier transform but hey!
