this is troubling:
i've been checking the proof of a particular claim,
in order to assure that it is a theorem.
it involves Lipschitz (continuous) functions.
every time i edit the writeup,
i spot an error, but that's not the trouble;
so far, i can always fix them ..
.. but the Lipschitz constant gets bigger, every time. ):
EDIT (9 august 2007): never mind.
i found an error that i can't resolve.
nature: 1, janus: 0.

Let's just hope that there are finitely many errors?
as it happens, i finally found the big, proof-killing error.
my argument doesn't work. i assumed too much, and the special case which is true is something that people would laugh at.
so sometimes, a finite number of errors won't do. ):
