This isn't a spelling flame, but there is a horrible subtlety in the
English language here.
I'm not certain, but I think the modern interpretation of the word
'warranted' is to mean 'justified'. I think the word 'warranteed' must
be used to get the meaning 'guaranteed' (as I assume Dmitry intended).
