That was seriously not common knowledge? I assumed everybody was aware of that. Well, fark.

Common knowledge usually isn't. Same with common sense.

I heard about demonstrations of this way back in the mid-90s, so it's at least that old.

I did just get a thought, though: This phenomenon can be abused by claims of people who hear voices of the dead in static.

Where's that graphic about:

New paper discusses possible A when B, C, D, & E.
...
Scientists say that B linked with A
...
OMG! B Causes A!
...
White noise generator apps for your telephone conversations. Yes, I can tell the difference. It's a much fuller sound. You've got to try it.

The concept was invented in 1981, as a possible way to explain the ice age cycles.

Or those who claim they hear rare DX in static.

I'm sitting here writing regexes in perl, so Reply::Kick->new($your).

/"A story about perl?" was the first thought in my head after reading the headline.

The opposite is also true. You can introduce a deadband to help reduce dither in an actuator. If you don't have enough noise though, you'll can get some steady state wandering. Noise of various colors aren't a half bad way to characterize a non-linear physical system as well.
