I believe you're missing the point, or I'm missing something.
With one known point (a pulsar for this discussion), you get a sphere of
where you _could_ be.
With only two pulsars, you get one circle of where you could be.
With three, then you get a point where you could be.
If I'm WAY off in bothering to respond as I have to this, then excuse
me, I don't recall the context of points 1-4 of the message you're
responding to point 5 of.
