i think i'm developing a dyslexic tic:

when writing out indices by hand, i keep writing '3' for 'ε' .. which ruins the estimates. up to symmetry, though, it's typographically the same

on a related note, i've decided to treat most of my stay in ny state as a 1/2-holiday. since one is supposed to relax and do things one wants to do, when on holiday ..

.. i'm going to work on another idea to attack this one conjecture.
wish me luck! (-:
