The one at

is junk - a disordered mish-mash of extracts from the real article.

- halb 2y agoI think some people are reading the columns in the printed article in the wrong order, maybe they are not used to that kind of formatting
- in_a_hole 2y agoThe FermatsLibrary page contains a pdf showing a photocopy of the original piece with some annotations at the side. The pdf is just a graphic and does not have highlightable text but the annotations are proper text. Perhaps you have some minimal view enabled on your browser and are only seeing the annotations, the only "text" on the page.
- nonrandomstring 2y agoExactly! What's funny is that rather than simply failing hard it silently kinda half-works, presenting me with a mashed-up, incoherent mess that sort of reads like it might be a legit article, but written by crazy person. A good object lesson in an awful idea for web presentation in my opinion, but amusing nonetheless.
