[Amps] Class A for AM

[Jim Forsyth]

I'm reminded of an experiment that was allegedly conducted in Europe several 
decades ago. A large group of people was assembled in plain view of a tall 
tower. Each person was asked to write down his estimate of the height of the 
tower. The guesses were collected and the average was calculated. The 
average was announced to the group, then they all got to guess again. After 
several iterations, so the story goes, the result converged on the correct 
number.
