| Feb 18, 2011 at 18:11 | comment | added | Marek | yeah, I considered talking about $\mathbf D$ and $\mathbf P$ little more but decided not too in the name of brevity. Some clarity may have been lost though. | |
| Feb 18, 2011 at 18:08 | comment | added | Greg Graviton | @Marek: sure, no problem. I was just subtly uncomfortable with your wording, and it's hard to comment meaningfully on that. (For instance, I think you don't make it clear how exactly $\mathbf D$ is introduced, whereas I mention that it arises as a useful device for calculation. The difference is subtle if anything, but I consider it somewhat important.) | |
| Feb 17, 2011 at 21:29 | comment | added | Marek | all right then. I don't see any difference between this and my answer though (and if there is some problem with formulation in mine, you should've commented on it instead) so I won't up-vote. Nothing personal -- if you posted this first, I'd vote you up. | |
| Feb 17, 2011 at 20:21 | comment | added | Greg Graviton | Yes. I like my formulation better, tough. Obviously. ;-) (And I still upvoted your answer) | |
| Feb 17, 2011 at 17:44 | comment | added | Marek | Hm, except for the explicit equation for $\mathbf D$ this is completely identical to my answer, isn't it? | |
