How are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection?
Yes, because vestigial structures can be harmful. For example, some humans are now born without an appendix which ensures they will not be killed via appendicitis. Having a smaller expression of a vestigial structure, like having a smaller appendix, saves on the energy wasted in maintaining an unneeded structure.

What is vestigial side band transmission?
Vestigial sideband (VSB) is a type of amplitude modulation ( AM ) technique (sometimes called VSB-AM ) that encodes data by varying the amplitude of a single carrier frequency .
