Scientific paper

The theory of absolute and convective instabilities is discussed. It is argued that the basis of the theory is questionable, since it describes the linear development of instabilities by their behavior in the time-asymptotic limit. In order to make sensible predictions on the linear development of instabilities, the problem should be studied on the finite time scale implied by the linear approximation.
