Artifex, Thanks for the concise & understandable explanation.

But (in this one area) I don't fully agree that . "RF systems aren't able to listen to the transmit channel at the same time as they are transmitting" .....

In my past life, I maintained a number of fixed Ground "Air Navigational Aid" systems.

In these systems, it is absolutely essential that a great number of transmitted signal parameters be continually monitored.

And, of course, this requires a separate monitor antenna, or some other type of RF "pickup" ... since the main antenna is switched to the transmitting device.

I would assume that, in cases where you are also attempting
to intercept an offending RF carrier, it may be necessary to locate the monitoring antenna at a reasonable distance from you own transmitting antenna...
And that you'd be looking for a substantial change in your own carrier's characteristics at that point.

It's quite likely that the originators of the 802.11 proposal, would consider such a complex solution to the collision problem, both impractical and too expensive ..

and I thank you for pointing out the appropriate section.

Best regards,
Mardy.
