I dont understand why sounds with unresolved harmonics are
'non-existent' in nature. Speech signals have many high harmonics
that are not resolved by the auditory system.
Ofcourse they probably dont contribute much  to pitch perception
but to say that unresolved harmonics dont exist in a natural environment
is wrong.
