For a given shunt inductance a lower load has better LF

This is the first time for many years that the meaning of
the term "load" in this context has been challenged.

Generally, I have avoided the issue and used the less-easily
misunderstood term "load resistance" or just "resistance".
Lately, there has been so little discussion by amateurs that
the jargon of commercial operators, or "professionals" as
they prefer to call themselves, has erected barriers against
incursion. Now the self-styled professionals are getting
sloppy.

An open circuit represents zero load, right? So a high load
resistance is a low load.

I'll try to use more accessible language in the future.
