I'd like to heartily second that one. I tried every resource I could
find to figure this out before I resorted to c.l.a. The example in
Cohen's book is wrong, and he doesn't address its use in MI at all. The
rationale just talks about it but doesn't put up any examples. I
couldn't even find anything in the LRM that said this was legal after
over an hour of searching. It'd be a shame if the only real
documentation of this technique was word of mouth.
