| Feb 25, 2018 at 12:41 | comment | added | Manfred Weis | I don't see "opinion" as something negative in general; if it relates to arguments that are based on experience and is not related to insisting on knowing the one and only truth without being able to provide proofs, then I appreciate opinions as ideas for further investigation or possible explanations. When I used the term "opinion" in my comment, it was in the positive sense and not in the stigmatized sense. | |

Added an example to illustrate that although the motivation for defining the center via excentricity, the neatness of the geometric situation is not always paralleled in the combinatorial setting.
