I believe that the set of readers who understand PC and the set of
readers who understand Tideman and the set of readers who understand
SSD are almost congruent. Therefore I believe that by proposing three
methods instead of only one method you cannot increase the number of
readers significantly who understand at least one of the proposed
methods.
