You're right of course. I didn't notice the meaning of one-tuple; I took 
Mark's comment as if he had said:

If you can show me a <rubout><rubout> one tuple anywhere ...

The original error message said there was a tuple;  I knew that fav 
wasn't the tuple, but the combination of fav and RandomNum was.
