While it since clarified the ambiguity I complained about in the last update, it now presented a function graph that has the graph curving back on itself, meaning multiple values per input, meaning it's not what we today would call a function. (For all my complaining, it's all in all still a good read.)

Stumbled on the first two disappointing elements: A side-remark that is more confusing than helpful (and seems to only have been added in the Gardner edition), and some too sloppy wording that could be read to imply that the derivative at a certain point can be used to exactly calculate the value of the function anywhere else, when of course that only holds for linear functions or as an approximation "close by".
