Why is "actually" the key word, Rich?  And please show us some SCIENTIFIC
proof that this "codswallop" as you call it really is "codswallop."  Unless
you can back up your claim scientifically, don't make it.

What does this have to do with all the tea in China or anything else for
that matter?  Of course a tune-C may have a VHF resonance.  DUH!  I doubt
Tom discovered that.  And of course the resonance might vary from capacitor
to capacitor.  But one question is was it a series resonance or a parallel
resonance?

And if it was series resonance so what?  The odds of it being at EXACTLY the
same resonant frequency as that of a tube's anode circuitry are pretty slim
particularly in a good amplifier design.
