Eduardo, Oh, good grief. I realize that is what it SAYS, what I am saying is that perhaps that is not what the author INTENDED, or else the author believed that what they wrote was EASIER TO IMPLEMENT than it in fact is. In other words, I'm making certain ALLOWANCES for mistakes, mistakes which, BTW, don't really SURPRISE ME, because we are all after all HUMAN.
