It's still present, even if it's not noticeable on the human scale. That
was all I took Anthony's original comment to mean - that he was noting in
passing that he was comparing an "instantaneous approximate Fourier
transform" in the analogue world to a fast Fourier transform in the
digital world. IE different math with similar results.

No offense intended; maybe I misread your previous comment.
