Very nice. I assumed that the fix was pretty minor. But I agree with your first 
take on this, that simplicity is the real goal - putting data requirements on 
the J side gives a lot more "flexibility" for entry of data.

On the other hand, replacing one of the numbers with something like 3j4 causes 
a red flag (rather literally) and still returns a result that could be 
interpreted with some effort on the J side - Nice! Lots of interesting 
possibilities.

Thanks for your work on this!
