You are probably not saying that instead of x you want to use the letter p instead. That would be ridiculous. As you have shown, one only has to take the CIS, substitute for the x_i some symmetric polynomials and voila, you get what you want. Why is that so problematic? As I understand BLL, we should rather consider (extend AC to) weighted species. That is how you get your substitutions. Am I wrong?
