RE: How is Archimago's equipment not "up to the task"...

I think you're overstating your position. Human hearing is designed to respond to air pressure, but I'm guessing that it takes more than one air molecule to stimulate the ear.

Think of it: the ear drum is not made up of one atom, but millions of them. So is the bone structure in the ear. So are the hairs in the ear canal. So is the fluid in the ear canal. Having mass, the overall structure of the ear has an inherent inertia. I seriously doubt a singe O2 molecule, or CO2 molecule, or whatever kind of single, gaseous molecule striking the ear drum will be able to overcome the inertia present in the ear and so be "heard."
