Yeah, that's the way I'd visualise it too.

The way I saw the formula written down is that you take the input wave, 
multiply it by different sine and cosine waves, and average. Thinking 
about this, I figured that if you have an osciliscope where the 
displacement plane rotates instead of translating, you'd get flower 
patterns that are off-center only if the frequency you're testing for is 
present.

...which appears to be what this guy is saying.
