	Huh, where did this come from?  I've played around with sound
quite a bit, and if I generate two tones of slightly different frequencies,
I can hear the phase quite fine thank you.  In fact, if I generate two
tones of the same frequency that are out of phase, I can also tell the
difference.  This effect is certainly not limited to low frequencies.
