Then after you change it, or don't, you'll find out the journal you submitted it to has an unwritten house rule about exactly these situations and you'll have to choose that way. | |

| May 21, 2014 at 4:12 | comment | added | André Henriques | Why do you want there to be one that's right and one that's wrong. I think that it's better to have the two options side by side, along with the understanding that neither is better than the other. Of course, in your paper, you'll have to chose between the two: you'll have to break the symmetry. | |
