The following short question is adressed to all contributors to this
newsgroup who feel impelled to bolster their lack of self-confidence by
dragging in the chapter and verse of their favourite worshipped authors
and
Gurus, most of whom nobody has ever heard of and highly unlikely ever to
get
their hands on.

Gee, Reg, since you took that out of context, it seems a bit unfair.
Roy wrote it, and after the comma was, "I've seen." I don't know it,
but I'm willing to take Roy at his word on the matter.
===========================

The question asked was -

"How do you know that Magid has the most rigorous derivation of . . . . . .
".

Of what the derivation was was of no consequence. It was a matter of
judgement of Magid's (or anybody else's) qualifications and authority. What
was the purpose of referring to somebody hardly anybody has ever heard of?
