Gjm, after a round-of-suffering with the LaTeX equation editor, any-and-all markup glitches in the above comment now seem to be fixed (at least, the comment now parses OK on FireFox/OSX and Safari/OSX). Please let me know if you are encountering any remaining markup-relating problems, and if so, I will attempt to fix them.

No, it's OK now. The funny thing is that the glitch doesn't seem to have been near any of your LaTeX bits.

I confess that I don't really see the connection between your comment and Scott's essay, beyond the fact that both have something to do with Scott's opinions on quantum mechanics.

Thank you gjm. To the best of my understanding, (1) all markup glitches are fixed; (2) all links are live; and (3) an added paragraph (fourth-from-last) now explicitly links dynamic-J methods to Scott's notion of "freebits".
