However many binaries obviously DO eclipse.

No I can't match flute sounds. They are a combination of sine wave harmonics.

But if a flautist was playing a steady note while riding on a carousel, I could
probably match his sound amplitude variations......no, only joking..sound isn't
ballistic.

You simply don't get it....
OBSERVED doppler shifts are pretty meaningless. They are largely Willusory.

They are...except where VDoppler dominates. ...eg., in contact binaries and
pulsars....

The BaTh, dear lady, provides the only known way to make some sense out of the

I hate to see mature astronomers grovelling around in the darkness after
Einstein switched of their lights.

The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.
