I can see how your explanation is more complete, but is there anything wrong in badger7's post?

No, i'm not saying that Badger's post is incorrect (it correctly defines the phenomenon). Some of the other posts on this thread are all over the place, and don't describe the phenomenon or what underlies it.

So sorry if i gave the impression that Badger7 is wrong, he's not, he just doesn't explain what's going on, or what the full scope of the phenomenon is :)

The similarity between this response and the sample ones made me laugh.

"Is there anything wrong in badger7's post?" "No, I'm not saying Badger's post is incorrect"

The double-negative makes alternative emphases difficult, but I'm tempted.

I took it as it was meant. My colleague doubted the basic assertion, so I was providing an example of each - it wasn't intended to be comprehensive :)
