A clear concise description of why they don't work - and yet people keep on getting stung by them.
I shall see what else is on the guide about them - perhaps we could get this into the peer review process?
Thanks :-)

I'm just relieved that I managed to make the maths understandable by someone.
Would be nice to get it in the edited guide.
Thanks :-)

Looks like a good article. It could use a couple fewer sentences that begin with so. Sometimes what I've found is that starting sentences with "so this" and "so that" is a symptom of trying to be too conversational. You can often get equally comprehensible results by putting the sequence entries in a numbered list, with white space around them. I enjoyed the article all the same.
