Oh, I totally agree. I'm just expressing some reservations about the terms being used by the Waterloo calculator, and attempting to wrap my head around the definition of the terms and the corresponding output for spreading resistance. The way they've defined the model just seems odd to me, even though the results that it produces at the end may be just fine.

I actually broke my simulator a while back. I tried to make some improvements to the model, and got something wrong. It now just feeds out junk after a few cycles. Sadly/stupidly I didn't save a version of the working copy. I simply haven't had the time to dedicate to debugging it of late.
