Yes, glad that you found the erroneous comment.

Truth welcomes "suspicion" - if the entry is in error, I want to know.
I did not mean to sound defensive, only that I had verified all the
formulas and that the formulas were based on a proven result.
The e.g.f. of A097682 is the generating function of a special case
of Benoit Cloitre's generalization of the Euler-Gauss formula for the
gamma function.
Thanks,
Paul
