An experimentalist excitedly rushes into his theorist colleague's office and shows him a print-out of his latest results. The theorist looks at the graph, strokes his chin for a moment, then says "Hmm, yes, this peak here is just what you'd expect as a result of the second-order Bohr resonance of the..." when the experimentalist cuts in with "Oh, sorry, I've given to you upside-down."
So the theorist rotates the paper, thinks a bit more, then says "Ahh, well now, this big trough here is obviously due to an enhanced absorption of the..."
