  By employing the dictum that axiomatic principles are devoid of predictive
power, we find that the elastic unitarity constraint, applied to strong
W$_L$W$_L$ scattering, does not alter the assumed spectrum of intermediate
states. We consider intermediate states involving a heavy Higgs and heavy
fermions of a hypothetical fourth generation doublet. In contrast to recent
studies, we find no p-wave resonance, and therefore no violation of the S
parameter upper bound. We conclude that the elastic unitarity constraint sheds
no light on the existence of a heavy fourth generation.
