 * On circumstantial grounds alone (techniques employed, venue of publication), the answer is "of course not". Concretely, it's easy to identify the error: in the final paragraph on page 2, the author proposes to substitute x + 1 for x in equation (3.4), but equation (3.4) is valid only for those values of x that actually are solutions, not in general.  --207.232.84.226 (talk) 01:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
