And this means....?

So just because we know how to use transverse waves we're not going to
explore the world of longitudinal waves?

It doesn't bother me that you want to remain content with transverse waves.
Be my guest.  But I see an undeveloped frontier within my grasp.  I'm going
to be a pioneer in the art of generating and utilizing longitudinal waves,
just like Master Tesla did. :-)
