I’m not really sure what you’re arguing for. Yes, I’ve elided some details of the derivation of average-case complexity of bridging laws (which has gotten me into a few factors of two worth of trouble, as Donald Hobson points out), but it really does boil down to the sort of calculation I sketch in the paragraphs directly after the part you quote. Rather than just saying “ah, here’s where it goes wrong” by quoting the non-numerical exposition, could you explain what conclusions you’re led to instead?
Oh I see. The quoted section seemed confused enough that I didn’t read the following paragraph closely, but the following paragraph had the basically-correct treatment. My apologies; I should have read more carefully.
