Except that in sliding endpoints of one interval, it may be made to coincide with others, and so lose its own identity.
Furthermore, WM makes all sorts of claims about his results with no formal proofs or even reasonable discussions of why one would expect such results.
But then, WM has shown himself unable to provide valid proofs of his own claims all too often in the past, so that one is no longer surprised by his present failures to proved them. --
