Number of the tide waves.
Also on this point, the two ways of explaining the phenomenon disagree.
#08 - Number of the tide waves: two.

(current approach) ... two water bulges (tide waves) get formed, in particular in two regions, having more or less the same relation with the Moon ...
#08 - Number of the tide waves: one for each tide basin.
.2 (inductive approach) As in the figure below, there are not two tide waves (on the whole Earth), but many. Each one is generated within its own tide basin, independently from those of the other basins.
