If you say so. ;) Your reasoning and motivation sounds good
but I couldn't understand the paper with a single reading
and I'm not convinced of its claims. Partly this is due to
the 'manuscript' or 'sketchy' nature of the work (no offence
to the author intended), but mainly because I'm not familiar
with the topic, haven't read the referred papers and do not
eat modulo arithmetics for breakfast. This might change, of
course, but don't hold your breath. ;)

Just my 0.38124 or so cents.
