So give a clear explanation of "how".

The "basis" you've given so far isn't enough to really figure out
what it is you mean.

Okay, so you pick the number. Just show us, in *complete* detail.

I think you misunderstood fiziwig. I think he's just asking for a
demonstration. That's something I would like to see, too.

You get a lot of hostile, rhetorical questions, and you deserve that.
But I read this as a genuine request.

Do you really think you've explained "surrogate factoring" in enough
detail for someone else to implement it? I don't think you have.
