Dorais The question has been corrected and it is fine now. It would be nice to have good way to record this as an example of a fixed issue.

At this point I would vote to reopen the question if it were closed.

There's a self-contained question, and no particular poor implication towards the author. It's commonplace to not understand a lemma in a paper (for various reasons!) and Bruce has in this revision identified the particular mathematical point of concern.

Dorais This is regarding question 26703. In my opinion, this question is borderline defamatory...

Edit: The poster has since removed the author name of the paper. He has also changed the title to "Problem with result on symmetric functions."
