We're *NOT* sullying it! If the discussion proves nothing else, it proves that, if the "Rossi effect" isn't real, it's so similar in appearance to a "real" effect that we really can't tell the difference. So, we're using "Memorex" as shorthand for "An illusion so good, you can't tell it from the real thing". And that's about the best you can ever claim about a recording medium. > > We can't be sure Rossi will have such a good name in a year or two. > > Rossi has an interesting out.
