In the interpretation of the boundary condition errors in accordance with the discussion in 

 Section II, if the boundary condition errors for any given theory were found to be generally 

 better than for the Stream-function theory, then it could be concluded that at least the 

 analytical validity of that wave theory would be better, and (as discussed earlier) there is 

 evidence that the analytical wave theory is a good indicator of the experimental vahdity (or 

 of the wave phenomenon in nature).
