• "Also the bare eye could see that the quantization was at least 1% accurate, and there was no reason it should have been even that good unless it was von Klitzing's effect."
• "Higher sampling rates are used because we can afford to do it now, and the higher sampling rates allow lower levels of certain complex aliasing (from amplitude quantization)."
• "It began with Dirac's quantization of fields using the variables of amplitude and phase."
