All electrical stuff is that way. :-) Years ago in Navy electronics
school the word was there were three ways that radio commonly worked,
not two. Not just Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation
(FM), but Absolute Magic, F---ing Magic, and WDP (Walt Disney
Productions).
The latter method was commonly cited as the probable means of modulation
for things that Just Shouldn't Happen.

Three phase power is all about bullshit and black magic. Nobody really
understands how it works but some can fake it enough to make it function
some of the time. This includes my son who is the chief engineer for a
electrical utility. He exaggerates about fishing results too. /jmac
