: That said, if you can modify the task in some reasonable way which brings out the flaws of star chains, I would accept your reasoning. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 21:43, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
::The article does not say it's the smallest counterexample. For you, if a statement is not (yet) proved, it's considered to be true? Wrong. Either you have a proof that star chains produce optimal solutions for 31415 and 27182, either a program based on star chain is useless. When the task asks for optimal solution, that means provably optimal solution, not ''maybe optimal, maybe not''. [[User:Arbautjc|Arbautjc]] ([[User talk:Arbautjc|talk]]) 21:56, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
