Haha at first I didn't see who posted this and thought, 'what a newb...'

 

Now I'm thinking that some philosophic sparring of Pd fundamentals is about to begin.  I'll make some popcorn and watch this one from the sidelines...

I have some newbie questions here...

why is it that [*] is only for floats, whereas if you want to multiply two
signals one has to use [*~] ?

And then why is it that [*~] can multiply a signal by a float, but [*]
can't do that?

And then why is it that [*~] can't multiply a float by a signal, the
signal has to be on the left? Why is it that if I want to divide a float
by a signal, then I have to explicitly cast the float to signal (using
[sig~]) or use [expr~] ?
