So, I think the easiest thing for you to do (and in fact, I eagerly
invite you to do this) is for you to simply point out the flaw(s) in
the (very humble) mathematics in my paper.
After seeing how you have responded to Moews and Hofman, I do not expect
that you will listen carefully to any criticisms that I present. So I
will not bother to try.
I will say that every time that I have witnessed the following sequence
of events---
- someone presents the solution to a mathematical problem
- someone else, who is even moderately competent, studies the
solution carefully and finds something wrong or unclear, and
brings it to the attention of the solver
---the objection is either correct (this is almost always the case), or
the objector quickly sees his misunderstanding after a brief conversation.
It is of course possible that your case is the first counterexample in
the history of mathematics, but I doubt it, because I can tell from your
responses to Moews and Hofman that you are more interested in defending
yourself than in trying to understand their objections.
