	Not so with relatively recent vintage Escorts from Cincinnatti

Yes, I know this.  I was trying to explain why a cheap radar detector may be
able to set off other radar detectors and still be quite incapable of
jamming a real radar gun.  Did I really need to write "another nearby radar
detector which can be falseley triggered, (which means most detectors other
than recent Escorts)" instead of simply "another nearby radar detector"?

I was simplifying the truth, since the fine detail of the truth was
irrelevant to answering the question that was asked.
