I wrote my annotations from the perspective of a hypothetical professor, 
who treated the text in question as the homework of a student.

Now my aim was, to find every single error, whether important or not, 
even if it is a very small error.

Now 'curved approach' is not 'streight approach', hence 'streight 
approach' must be an error or 'homogenous field' must be an error.

One of them must be wrong, but which one, is not my concern, because I 
only wanted to mark the errors.

What the correct solution is, was not my business, because I only 
returned the paper back to the student with a lot of remarks.

I also gave him the advise, to try something else than theoretical physics.
