But is a waveform actually made of an infinite set of sine waves? Nope, it has a single value at a given point.

You are confusing two expressions of the waveform here. If you limit yourself to sine waves (as in Fourier) analysis, you need an infinite set of such waves. On the other hand, you still need an infinite number of digits to describ the value at a point. These are only two different descriptions of the same object.

What a bunch of horsesh*t. If you can't see the monumental differences, both conceptually and physically, between the two approaches then you've gulped down far too much of the purple QM Koolaid. Ok, fine. You have your religion and I have mine. See ya!

I want to apologize for the cheap shot in my first reply to your msg (the Koolaid bit). It was unnecessary and childish. Sorry.
