This is going to be confusing...

So we finally got the referee report back on our integer complexity paper! It's going to require a lot of revision, apparently. And, well, I have to say, the referee really went above and beyond the call of duty on this one... he kind of, uh, rewrote our paper for us. Even introduced a whole new thing about "backsteps" I haven't had time to look at.

Thing is he says we're wrong about quite a lot of things where it should be very easy to tell whether we're wrong or not. Meaning either we screwed up really badly, or he screwed up really badly. And it should be easy to tell which, but I've had so little time to look at this that I haven't even sat down and determined this yet! Perhaps Josh has...
