OK, I get the argument.

Well, technically a git repository is better even in this aspect, as
it is inherently self-verifying :-)

I wrote my name at the top of the page. I wrote down  the  number  of
the  question  ``1''.  After much reflection I put a bracket round it
thus ``(1)''. But thereafter I could not think of anything  connected
with it that was either relevant or true.
