...but it didn't matter; Pearson's arguments were theoretically incorrect
(that is, the incorrectness was frequency-independent).

BFD, as we say.  If they use the test, I would assume that they (and not
Charles Pearson) should be the ones to specify the frequency.  Of course,
if Charles Pearson thinks that it is neither correct nor valid, then
Charles Pearson should explain why it is invalid.  (Not I.)

Seriously (for a brief moment:-), it would be nice to know what they use
the square-wave test for, and whether that seems like a valid use of it.
That's a much more mature (not to mention constructive) approach than
calling the mag a "comic book".

I am going to be a good boy and bite my tongue on this one!  (Clean
through, I expect...)

...and it's the one thing that you HAVE demonstrated well and supported
with many examples - unlike your non-problem of square waves...
