I've since realised, upon reading the above, that I don't understood it, and done some head scratching, and mucking around, which convinced me that I now understood it. However, since then I've done some _more_ mucking around, and I'm convinced that I don't undertand it again. For example, Oh bollocks, I mean, Oh hoorah! - I've just worked out why what was going to be a demonstration of how it behaves counter-intuitively is in fact correct and obvious (parameters to map), and hence I've just understood it again. I have so much to learn... Please - noone feed me any more information - it might trip the balance the other way again! :-| Truly not of this earth...
