But there is more reasons to wonder what positive values it have since it seems not to do what it is supposed to to, at least not here. It has both negative and positive values I suppose. But it is worth noting them. Putting a note on them so this is not forgotten. The example Harald gave should be a good note to put there. Maybe nothing more has to be done, but I think this would be good. Otherwise we are perhaps just wasting time.
