Yes, that's exactly what I was saying. From the texts above (I hope) it's
clear I assume a certain # of (brain) ticks per second. And the stream
always runs. So, more accurate to say would be, there;s 1000 ticks between
the touch and pain, contrary to 10^6, say.

This is what I was trying to say is sufficient.
