You have a point. Here what solves it:
In[29]:=
data={1.,1.,1.,1.,-1.,-1.,-1.,-1.}
Out[29]=
{1., 1., 1., 1., -1., -1., -1., -1.}
In[30]:=
Fourier[data]
Out[30]=
{0. + 0.*I, 0.7071067811865479 + 1.707106781186547*I,
0. + 0.*I, 0.7071067811865474 + 0.2928932188134521*I,
0. + 0.*I, 0.7071067811865475 - 0.2928932188134524*I,
0. + 0.*I, 0.7071067811865474 - 1.707106781186547*I}
What few dots can do (especially if they are not documented}! I never
realized before that Fourier would not accept integers.
