@unpublished{lamport1984on, author = {Lamport, Leslie}, title = {On a "Theorem" of Peterson}, year = {1984}, month = {October}, abstract = {This three-page note gives an example that appears to contradict a theorem in a TOPLAS article by Gary Peterson. Whether or not it does depends on the interpretation of the statement of the theorem, which is given only informally in English. I draw the moral that greater rigor is needed. When I sent this paper to Peterson, he strongly objected to it. I no longer have his message and don't remember exactly what he wrote, but I think he said that he knew what the correct interpretation was and that I was unfairly suggesting that his theorem might be incorrect. So, I never published this note.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/on-a-theorem-of-peterson/}, }
