In my opinion, your last remark shows that you are a man of marked individuality.
I would say, a born researcher. You have a rare quality, intrepidity to confess
your fault. It's crucial.
To err is human. To err is OK. To err is the core of research work.
For a bit of example, Euler claimed:
1) 1000009 is prime (1000009 = 293 3413)
2) there is no Graeco-Latin square of order n = 4k + 2, k = 1, 2, 3,
4... (there is, k = 22)
3) Diophantine equation x1^5 + x2^5 + x3^5 + x4^5 = x5^5 has no
positive solution (x1 = 27, x2 = 84, x3 = 110, x4 = 133, x5 = 144)
What we probably should fear most of all, is the seeming impeccability (God forbid)
Me, like reading your postings. THANKS. Keep her steady ;-)
Best regards,
