Thanks. Good point, my error (fixed it), how about just "way", not right or wrong, good or bad, just "way", or in your terms "prescribed" way.

Exactly my point, I don't know, it was an unannounced change.

What was "wrong", if anything, with the decades old way?

I'm very curious as to why.

Maybe it came to the mechanics editor in a dream?

It happens.

Friedrich Kekulé discovered that the structure of benzene contained a ring of six carbon atoms with alternating single and double bonds after having a dream about a snake biting its own tail.
