But let me say-- if you have only had one case of the theorem being retracted, you are refereeing an order of magnitude better class of papers than I am. Which is perhaps to say, there is a difference between a proof which is not well justified, and a proof which just cannot be right (and I think the OP initially gave the game away a little, and I suspect the latter is the case here). | |
