I rationalize this as follows: If the true oscillating edge amplitude is A , it will always cause an average GetPosition() oscillation amplitude of 0.5. Since this is a single edge oscillation, A < .5 , so any rate derived will be amplified by a factor of .5/A. E.g. A = .05 will amplify by 10 the true rate. This is the main reason that the Joe rate method and mine are in the ball game is to prevent these amplifications from tainting the rate output.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
