It is often wrongly assumed, that the shift theorem also applies to the courier transform.

The two transforms are closely related mathematically.
The courier transform takes the 3D spatial harmonics of the rectangular package, then convolutes the package, to remove high frequency spatial harmonics. If the process is repeated, it will finally approximate a sphere, defined only by the fundamentals in the 3 dimensions.

Did we ... did we resolve this?

There are indeed more hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water than stars in the entire solar system.

If they were extant, you would still not hear them pee, because reptiles and birds do not pee. They have a cloaca, and so produce a paste, not a liquid, as is evidenced by coprolites.
I have been pissed on by geckos.
