The thread is partly about the interpretation and understanding of a mathematical operation. But it is also a question about Elisp and it's usage, and understanding existing Elisp code, it matters in practice, so emacs-help does not seem wrong to me. It's also not wrong IMO to have these answers in the archives, others may have the same question, and understanding the background helps to remember the conventions. That's why I continued debating here. Michael.
