During the program to which you refer, were the phones actually ringing compared with use of a sound-effect loop to make it seem that way?

(At the risk of borrowing too much of a leaf from the "9/11 conspiracy" advocates' play-book, it certainly is _possible_ that it was just sound effects and, anyway, you don't actually _know_ that the phones really were ringing, or were ringing but just with, as it were, "ringers" and so isn't the conclusion compelled that, In Truth, what you heard were not actual contributors?)
