The problem with violins is that the transmission of this data is not organized, or linear, or sensible.
All valid points.
And to add to them, please watch the great Orson Welles film "F is ... |

Missing the point - perhaps.
Now consider this: apparently unconnected data can point to the identity of a unique individual - the sum being much greater than t ... |
