Well, let's talk about the burst parameter, because I believe we
reached a conclusion it does not work like Bc (i.e. to determine the
Tc). Rather it works more closely to Be, but not even that... :-)

I'm not confused about it - I just can't seem to find the information
what it does. I can *believe* what it does, but that doesn't explain
it to me ;-)
