A footnote from Stephen Dolan's Algebraic Subtyping, in reference to a paper by Redko: "This paper is out of print, in Russian, and quite difficult to get a hold of, so the interested reader is directed to a shorter proof by Conway [Con71, p. 105], which is merely out of print."

fwiw I think you have a typo: each 𝑗 in the premises has no subscript, but in each consequent it’s 𝑗₁

are you implying you harbor doubts about the design handed down to us by the wise council of ISO/IEC JTC 1 (Joint Technical Committee 1) / SC 32 (Subcommittee 32) / WG 3 (Working Group 3)

one really good way to understand this phenomenon better is to spend a lot of time researching the behavior of crank researchers: many of them have very little experience, so they don’t understand the content of insightful research, and they simply imitate its affects
