You could type <bokeh> into google.com and read any of the 400+ hits you'll
get back.

Yes Henry, and while I respect your knowledge consider typing "lens" on
Google and note you will get back 1.9 Million+ hits.
Ity means nothing. But do check out the 400+ hits you get back from "bokeh"
and note they are mostly from internet user groups and those very
knowledgable internet journalists (ahh yes, the Internet. A bastion for
mediocre journalism!). They try to explain the meaning of bokeh. I would
bet none understand optical design, constant circle of confusion of an
image, coma, or other types of aberrations, yet they are ready to explain
optical design as it relates to bokeh! ;-)
Note, there is nothing in those hits from any lens manufacturers.
One last comment, if you look at some of the examples of bad bokeh note the
jagged lines follow the shape of the aperture. A more hexagonal shape
produces less smooth out of focus areas than a rounder aperture. Bottom
line is that one should buy good lenses with round apertures.
