I suspect that it is that statement (that a and b are "algebraically
indistinguishable") that has led to many confusions on the parts of
the original poster. Consider for example his statement, when told
that Newton polygons could be used to study the roots, that I had been
"lying" when I said the same thing:

It is also, I think, the source of the cryptic claim on the alleged
"over interpretation of Galois theory" in the manuscript.

Not that it is isn't a bang-on, dead-on-target, statement, mind.
