When you follow the breadcrum trace to the paper for control algorithm 
theory, the ADEV intercept point is traceable to a different concept 
with different noise-behavior, in which the method worked, where as 
re-applying it to the noises of packet networks may not be the best of 
methods.

With all the theory available, it just doesn't necessarily apply to the 
reality.

BTW, the ADEV intercept-point was done not by Dave Mills, but he refer 
to a paper by Judah Levine.

Cheers,
Magnus
