Could there be another explanation for the 90% contrary opinion? At the 
least, your point is a deep philosophical one, I think.

I responded to your statement:

  Specifically I want to point out that the noise you see is NOT 
harmonics.

It IS; the fact that with some settings of the SA you can't see the 
individual lines spaced at 50 or 60 Hz is another matter.
