Question It is? Are you sure?

Thanks Psi .... I have to admit your version is simpler.

Having said that I suspect Occam's razor is much over rated.
Plus simplicity is relative.

thanks again
I'm not sure that simplicity is relative. Let me illustrate with examples, both of which are valid arithmetic expressions having the same result:
  1. 1 + 2 = 3
  2. (2 ^ 4) - (3 x 4) -1 = 3
Which of these would you say is simpler? If you can see a difference, then on what basis can you even begin to claim that "simplicity is relative"?
