Interesting – and disturbing that for lack of deprecation of the other two 
ways we would then have *three* ways.

But irrelevant evidence, again.

[I do not understand why that is so hard to understand: In order to 
substantiate the original statement, it has to be shown *what the statement 
says*: that it would have been “clearly stated that .format is not going to 
do away with percent formatting, and all language of "new-style formatting" 
has been removed so as not to cause confusion.”.  Everything and anything 
short of showing that *fails* to constitute *relevant* evidence for that 
statement.]
