, but it is obvious
to me that you messed up
for several reasons).
I reply:
...which you are unable to articulate. Apparently some sort of petty spite
is among your reasons.
well, alright. Your formula has
1.plainly wrong asymptotic behavior and
I reply:
BF's rounding points approach those of Webster, in the limit of larger pairs
of consecutive integers.
Between 0 and 1 it's an improper integral, but when it's evaluated, the
rounding point is at 1/e.
Warren continues:
2.plainly wrong specific values (after some computing)
I reply:
...which Warren has never specified.
Warren continues
, and
3.this sort of formula simply never arises in the ways you said,
so it must be wrong.
I reply:
The meaning of that isn't at all clear.
Warren said:
I have no responsibility to find errors in your derivation
I reply:
Regrettably your reticence doesn't extend to not making many angrily-worded
unsuported claims.
