Sure, but there is no law that says stars can't
orbit a little faster or have slightly higher
eccentricity so your problem is explaining why
we _don't_ see such spikes. The answer of course
is that every sysytem we see only shows VDoppler,
never ADoppler.
You get 10/10 for stubborness.
Do the arithemetic and see for yourself.
Now you get 20/10 for stubbornness.... :-)
And you're absolutely right, of course!
