lol, ok, since we're getting nowhere, i went outside the box and tested yt's sincerity in this post.
it's not some kind of weirdo dimensional or ficticious thing, as 3 x 1.5v = 4.5v, not 6v as i was hoping he'd notice. (almost all individual battery cells produce 1.5v).
was i correct about triggering a recording device, such as video or audio?
