No, I was wrong; sorry to disappoint you. I had something fairly radical 
in mind, I think it must have been motion E which is to do with hunt 
bells, not truth. That or I muddled up someone's proposal with the 
actual situation. My error, I am sorry to mislead.

I did not mean the term to be taken in a strictly defined sense; 
"methods that produce repeated rows within the plain course" is more 
exact, but I think the meaning is probably clear. And I used the term, 
somewhat tongue in cheek, of "false course" surprise, that is a 
reference to a false course not a false method if we have to be so precise.

Things can be made too complicated, so much so that they can never be 
resolved to everyone's satisfaction. A degree of compromise and 
tolerance within terminology usually has to be allowed, otherwise we 
continue in circles.
