Agree with Morendil about the paragraph beginning "In the vanishingly unlikely event...". Without the earlier references, it's not good to have your example of something you're sure of be something that a newcomer or Googler could find so controversial.

I'd suggest you either swap it for something else in which the very probably correct view is also the mainstream one within the pool of possible readers, or failing that, put your first link to your old post here instead of at the paragraph beginning with "Previously...".

Done. (Good catch.)
