Stop right there. You are citing Wikipedia as evidence? Wikipedia is worse than Rossi.... It's worse because it's often right, leading you to think you can trust it. I've seen "common misconceptions" there which were actually correct, there is a whole article on common misconceptions, which then supposedly corrected them, and the corrections were bogus, in a case I studied, someone made them up and posted them on a blog, and then some editor incorporated that without any understanding of the physics involved. That error stood for a long time.
