Our last three papers provide an occasion to make some brief notes on ideology of waves in plasmas and to rehabilitate Vlasov prescription to calculate relevant logarithmically divergent integrals in the principal value sense. In this approach asymptotical solutions of plasma oscillations are selected according to self-consistent boundary physical conditions. Landau damping is absent in this case by definition. Boundary electrical field together with conditions of absence of unphysical backward and kinematical waves define single-valued dependence of boundary distribution function on electron velocity \vec{v} in the case of transversal waves and on the surface break of the normal electrical field in the case of longitudinal oscillations. We have proposed physically more justified modified iteration procedure of collisional damping calculation and demonstrated some results of damping decrements calculations in a low-collision electron-ion plasma. Dispersion smearing of both longitudinal and transversal high-frequency waves, for which the smearing decrement \delta_x is proportional to \Delta\omega/(\omega\sqrt{\omega^2-\omega_L^2}), might be the main cause of waves amplitude damping in collisionless plasmas imitating Landau damping.
