The Malaysian Airlines understood it when it smacked them upside the head.
The Malaysian military understood it when it forced them to admit that they did catch the plane on radar which they previously denied.
The 14 nations that were looking for the plane in the Sea of China but are now looking off the Australian coast
understand it.
Are you sure that you and the General understand it???
Time of operation is the only vector that you can obtain from the pings.
The arcs represent the capability of the receiver, not the course of the aircraft.
