I see. You are one of those who think the way to solve problems is to make
them bigger and more complicated = worse. A commonplace attitude from
clever but unintelligent people.
For a brief, simple, accurate and intelligent, but somewhat misguided,
response from a mathematical perspective, see the one from "Patro" which
demolishes yours.
I noticed you (and everyone else) gave up trying to address the issue I
raised in "sci.math" recently. I would welcome you giving up on this one
right away.
