Quoting here:

	O	The mistake: a **(b/c) = c th root of ( a ** b ) is right,
	BUT it might be  - c th root of ( a ** b ), in case there are
	two different real root, i.e. in case c is even.
	
		So  -1 = - sqrt(1) and that's more than legal.

Perhaps this should be moved to net.nlang as an example of 
wrong = right.  Alternatively, we could assign 1 to right, -1 to wrong,
and stay in this group.
