Yo, Gregg.
The search function is dead, but this went past a couple of months ago.
We still have a copy on the living room table - waiting to pass it on when certain ppl are ready.

But really, most people claim it's the area under the curve... but I like to think outside of the box.

It's really the area OVER the curve.
