Only comets and children :-)

"Pin 1 problem" was an excellent choice because it means something 
within the world of pro audio. But as you yourself have so often said, 
it is only a subset of a much wider problem that affects the whole of 
electronic engineering.

In that wider world, "Pin 1 problem" just doesn't work as a descriptive 
term. Nobody can begin to guess what it means, unless they already 
*know* the answer.

It is no disrespect to either Mr Muncy or the pro audio engineers to 
look
for a more general - and above all, more meaningful - way to describe 
the wider problem of incorrect ground returns.
