Well, that seems very odd. Why would an equation like this have different coordinate systems on each side? To me, that means the equation is probably stupid to start with.

Jeezus. Alpha and beta are angles. When the settings are opposite (differ by pi, or 180 degrees), does this mean that alpha = -beta?
Whatever. Let's say you are right but forget this nonsense on stackexchange. On page 2 of Gull's original so-called "proof" he says, "Your task is to ensure:
 = \frac{1-\cos{\Delta\theta}}{2})
over long term performance." Well, the only time you get ++ or -- is when

. Of course that means that

and the RHS is zero. Well, my GAViewer program ENSURES that is true for EVERY single trial. So, the rest of Gull's "proof" must be nonsense. I'm still waiting for Gill to explain why that is not the case.
