Hmm... there is a good point here, and I think a merging of views makes the most 
sense.  I would venture that either:

1) Resonance is the difference between a thin, weak bend and a beautifully toned 
one.

OR

2) Both resonance and turbulance are needed to evoke a bend. 

AND

I'll remember to keep pestering you about lessons.
