OK, it's a fair cop, I wasn't entirely sure how exactly to work out how much interpolation would occur, but as it was basically irrelevant to the argument anyway I figured I'd wing it and hope noone noticed  So if a read error occurs does the entire block get thrown out, or the frame that contained the error, or does it depend on the particular case?

 

I don't think anyone besides yourself has actually been discussing average bit error rates. There was no need to once we established that even once the regions of peak bit-error count were taken into consideration, net total data errors were zero.

But yes, I think we've done error correction now, time to move on  Unless you'd like to expand on what you meant by the quotation marks in
