The whole sonar model should be taken with a grain of salt until we have to worry about things like cutoff frequencies, doppler, shallow sound channels, multistatics, waveforms, etc.

If you're shrewd you can make a scenario that captures some of the flavor of things but it still falls WAY short of how complicated things really are.
