You just said it!

Recalling years ago of disscussion of wheter FM was PM, and recently Magnus
saying PM are just more Bessel functions open up then TZFM, so where's the
diference between these all? Not to mention the latest delay based FM
discussion, that really opens up the bessels!

It would be interesting to have someone clarifying
what is what and when, in a simple clear manner exluding the hoopla maths!?
