Interesting. On the other hand:
In[1]:= Eigenvalues[RandomReal[{0,1},{20,20}], 1, Method -> Bogus]
Eigenvalues::emeth:
The method specified by Method -> Bogus
should be either Automatic or Arnoldi.
Note, however, that Arnoldi is not a built in object; Method-
>"Arnoldi"
is the appropriate way to call it. Furthermore, there area quite a few
other possible Method options for Eigenvalues, as documented in
the linear algebra documentation. The trick I mentioned, incidentally,
comes from one of Michael Trott's books. So, I'm beginning to
wonder if the internal handling of Bogus options has been relaxed.
