@ Rene & Stolfi
I admit that I don't know Chinese, but I am of course trying to understand. After all, it's about whether I continue to solve the puzzle or not. I am NOT interested in refuting, but in understanding, i.e. logic.
After hearing your explanation, I have to conclude that my knowledge is obviously not sufficient to follow the theory any further. That's okay. But I must also admit that I am still far from convinced. Seven hits in a text with so many variables is simply not enough for me. In this respect, I will wait until further evidence is provided, evidence that I might then be able to understand.
Just so there are no misunderstandings: I don't mean any of this in a bad way. Part of me would be very happy if there were a solution, whatever it may be. And I’d sincerely be happy for Stolfi if he’s found it.
