    It is clever but conceptually not much different to using a matched
    filter for detecting a wider frequency range by sacrificing a small
    amount of low frequency sensitivity they can gain much more at the high
    end. The mirror supports themselves are truly astonishing engineering!

    I love the squeezing analogy of turning cabbages into cucumbers.
