> You may select any real number between zero and infinity.

Should that have been “between one and infinity”? Otherwise you cannot claim that 1/R is between zero and one.



You got me on that one.

I would prefer, given the domain, to amend to "given an R between 0 and infinity, I will return R for all R < 1, or 1/R otherwise". But yes, the proof was flawed.
