i understand that - but it will automatically be simplified by
fixing the presentation, e.g. the missing terms at the beginning
make it especially hard to read. with this document, it was
hard for me to even concentrate on the actual technical content
because the presentation is so broken. once that's fixed, everything
will be easier to understand
