I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to begin to look. You've posted quite
a few messages here. Could I trouble you to cut and paste the relevant
explanation into your reply?

Suggesting where I can "focus" is not exactly the same as providing an
explanation of the mathematical error. Can you provide the actual
explanation?
