| Nov 8, 2014 at 21:27 | comment | added | Anonymous Mathematician | "Provide an interesting insight" isn't how I'd phrase things, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Aside from that, is your objection to the list of names? First names and initials sound funny, but I'm assuming they are just a placeholder for real names (not that anyone is proposing actually referring to people that way). | |
