Think of it as power=area under the curve. Green = unclipped, red = clipped

Coming from you, I'm not sure I'd expect better.
My issue wasn't with not knowing something...after all, we all start somewhere and there are plenty of things I have no clue about...but refusal to learn something because it's too long to read is just laziness.

exactly im lazy and i hate to read
