Yes, what is it, what happens there, what do I have to look out for to detect it?

Joke - It helps if your in space (end of joke).
Or, rather for safety and practical purposes your view point is from space.
Re-reading the Joe Postma pdf will help greatly though.
I think Joe (and the rest of us so far) misses some rather large points however,
which the pdf / powerpoint will be aimed at expanding upon.

That's why amongst many other reasons, namely my self defense,
the pdf / powerpoint will contain the pertinent points, and be for free to all.

NB - I am not ignoring your other very valid and centrally relevant points / questions h-j-m, that I will address,
they will be (mostly) answered in the pdf / powerpoint.
