Motion 27: NO



I vote NO on motion 27 in its present form. Though it has much overlap with motion 26, it is too imprecisely stated and has some technical errors. By the time it is hardened up to be precise enough for a standard it won't be much shorter than (the corresponding parts of) motion 26.

I think Arnold Neumaier's quote from Einstein was apposite: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". Motion 27 is simpler than possible.
