With respect to
typical rogue waves,
Rayleigh distribution needs revision.
With respect to
uncommon rogue waves,
Rayleigh distribution needs overhaul!

We need more, actual, continuous
wave time series measurements
in order to substantially verify or
refute the existence of these
uncommon rogue waves!

Progress in science is sometimes madeby great discoveries. But science alsoadvances when we learn thatsomething we believed to be true isn’t.When solving a jigsaw puzzle, thesolution can sometimes be stymied bythe fact that a wrong piece has beenwedged in a key place.
