A twelve-harmonic example shows exactly what that shortcut can miss: 25 samples reproduce the signal’s RMS perfectly, yet tclideckresearch.hashnode.dev

Double the order to fourth and you get 80 dB/decade — the same maximally flat passband, twice the stopband suppression. At fc = 1000 Hz with fs = 44100 powerelecsw.hashnode.dev
