Stephen,

My interpretation is ........ lucky for me in post 89 link to diagram .http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...5&d=1141577760

If you look at the top diffuser most of its light actually misses the subject which may seem a bit odd, but reflecting some of this back can give a soft light, especially in the case of an undiffused flash being used.
