[seqfan] Re: Miis France and OEIS

[jean-paul allouche]

No joke (and possibly no interest).
I have seen this yesterday and unsucessfully
tried to find a smart answer. Finally I seem to
have read that *the* answer was just about
symmetry of equality: if 1=5, then 5=1.
Totally dull (the link given by Michel Marcus
even claims symmetry being intuitively stronger
than reflexivity, hence 5=1 being a more natural
answer than 5=5...! At least that link cites
the OEIS)
