Eli may had a poor example but he has the correct logic.
Let me give you a better everyday example.
A table with alternate Latin and Hebrew columns, something like:
HEB1 lat1 HEB2 lat2 HEB3 lat3
which is displayed as (in R2L reading frame):
lat3 3BEH lat2 2BEH lat1 1BEH
Now if HEB2 and HEB3 are invisible, Eli method will show:
lat3 lat2 lat1 1BEH
While your method will produce:
lat1 lat2 lat3 1BEH
i.e. the columns will have changed places.
It is even more complicated when the Latin is replaced by digits.
(if lat1 is a number, Eli's method does not change, while your
method produce: lat2 lat3 number 1BEH).
Ehud.
