Unfortunately, however, a certain portion of this collection of mathematicians
[i.e., whose understanding of the theory is inaccurate and incomplete] have exhibited
a tendency to
assert/justify the validity of their inaccurate and incomplete understanding of the theory by means of “reformulations” or “simplifications”
LOGICAL STRUCTURE OF INTER-UNIVERSAL TEICHMULLER THEORY 17 ¨
of the theory, which are in fact substantively different from and have no
directly logical relationship to [e.g., are by no means “equivalent” to!] the
original theory.
Indeed, the version, referred to in the present paper as “RCS-IUT” [cf. §1.2],
that arises from implementing the assertions of the RCS appears to be the most
famous of these fabricated versions of inter-universal Teichm¨uller theory [cf. also the
discussion of Example 2.4.5 below for a more detailed discussion of various closely
related variants of RCS-IUT]. On the other hand, other, less famous fabricated
versions of inter-universal Teichm¨uller theory have also come to my attention in
recent years.
