If you paste an inverted copy of one on top of the other, it will cancel 
out to produce absolute silence. Any other result would suggest to me 
either a fundamental fault in the software, or use of compression 
algorithms.

In the context so far described, the talk sounds like something to be 
filed in the same category as painting the edges of CDs green stopping 
the laser bouncing off the surface of the disc.
