Of course >only one step needs to be incorrect for the whole proof to be incorrect. > < pointing out some mistakes > What puzzles me is the complete silence of Gismondi and Swart in this thread. From the potential winners of the next Turing award, who knows maybe the field medal, I expect some interest in getting the proofs debugged. Of course all of this discussion might have occured off-line but somehow I doubt it. So how about it Swart? Why not put your mouth where your money is.
