		+	I see it in a a different way.
		+	no ^ 1 ^ 2 means footnote 1) to the word "no" and footnote 2) to footnote 1. Thus we got:
		+	No (ignore this) (2)
		+	no (ignore this) (increment by 2 before following) - so use 4) instead of 2)
		+	no (ignore this) (4)
		+	no (ignore this (ibid) - so use 3) instead of 3)
		+	no (ignore this) (3)
		+	no (ignore this) (not true) (3)(2)
		+	As 2) take us to 3) via 4) we got
		+	no (ignore this) (not true) (3)(3)
		+	Now we can replace both (3)'s with '(not true) (3)(2)', but... they are the same. It does not matter if they are true or not, because we can A) apply 'not true' to the phrase 'not true', which results in 'true', or B) apply 'true' to the 'true' phrase, which results in the same answer, so:
		+	no (ignore this) (not true)
		+	Not true makes us ignoring footnote 1, and in consequence, footnoted 'no' from the very beginning stays the same.
		+	I could alt, but It's 4p.m. and I'm heading home from office. 8-)
