Well said. I took a class on Vibrations (no seriously, I know you're laughing but this was for real) in engineering school that dealt with such subjects. I recall quite a bit of differential equations were required to explain it, which quite frankly has long since slipped my mind (not that I was ever that great at it to begin with). Your suggestion is a practical way to know that you have done the job right... And if all else fails, you can always add more.

(see how all those courses come in handy)?
