Template talk:Conduit

To clarify, "recovery time" will record the safe recovery time, right? -- i.e., the smallest number of ticks after which a signal can safely come in at any time? Whereas the best recovery time accounts for special situations like overclocking, like 74 or 75 ticks best recovery time for a syringe, vs. 78 for the plain "recovery time".

Re: "dependent" vs. "independent" -- we did put a definition for "independent conduit" into the new Life Lexicon, but it has never really been the primary category. So "Dependent conduit? Yes" just seems more like the right way to convey the category membership, as opposed to "Independent conduit? No".

As the Lexicon now mentions, dependent conduits don't really depend on anything, though other conduits depend on them (to suppress the first natural glider). They should probably have been called "dependable conduits", or "FNG-suppressing conduits", or something like that -- but it kinda seems like it's Too Late Now.
