Spectral analyses of 70 yr of ILS-IPMS data on the variation of latitude are discussed from the point of view of the confidence limits that can be placed on statistical estimates. The available data cannot be used to support the existence of two resonant frequencies in the Chandler wobble, nor are the latter required to remove an anomaly in the value of Q for wobble as long as the oceans cannot be dismissed as an energy sink.
