No.  If you've forgotten, just go back and read any of the posts I've
made over the last 16 years where I explain why that analogy is a false
one.  I used to repeat myself in case some innocent reader might take
you seriously, but I think all students reading this group will be able
to tell that you are, well, let's just say "confused".

Some are.  I am glad you agree that what is in Sipser is a proof of the
theorem he states.  Can you move on now, or did you just use that word
by accident?
