I made another mistake. This reply is correct. In the fourth
line of the second paragraph of my first reply, the word 'left'
should have been 'right'. This reply corrects the error.

It's a case of coincidence. When I named the image, I was
referring to inconsistencies in the image itself. I did not
realize that I had omitted the < frm: > from the formula name,
thereby creating an even bigger wrongness.
The inconsistencies in the image are subtle. Compare the
elements in the lower right corner to the corresponding
elements in the upper left corner. You will see that the
lower right elements are larger. Also notice the black area
near the center (just to the left) of the bottom edge of the
image. The corresponding area at the top edge is colored a
pale green. This lack of symmetry is not kosher in proper
quadratic midgets.
