    Yeah, that’s quite a shrewd way of going about it.

    Since it’s not emitting anything the power it needs will be way less that something emitting its own signal and then checking for bounces which is how I naveivelly expected it would work.

    Cheers for the detailed explanation.

      I have a running list where I have been collecting words that I like for the last few years.

      “Shrewd” is a good word and it’s going on my list. Thank you for the contribution.

        Curiously, it’s one of those words that for me feels enjoyable to use yet I seldom have a chance to do so :)
