Also, it is not completely clear the Aronson's list of warning signs really applies here.

Nor do I, and I would in any case suggest that some of them are screened off. There's only so many times you can count 'non-conventional' as evidence.

I incidentally found some of the extra explanation handy purely as revision of various topics that it hadn't particularly occurred to me were relevant.

And, perhaps as a result of wasting so much time and space in preparation, it never reached its proper conclusion.

I do hope someone goes ahead and finishes it. Including things like writing out that bibliography at the end and writing up the maths.
