Not so! About half of my epsilon-delta arguments have the form

     Given a delta > 0 I can find an epsilon > 0
     such that if foo < epsilon, bar < delta.

But this might just be a personal failing. Also, maybe I just thought
they were epsilon-delta arguments but they were really delta-epsilon
arguments.

I can't be sure.
