""" The author hears that a mathematician (I. F.), who pretends to understand inter-universal Teichm¨uller theory, suggests in a literature that the author began to study inter-universal Teichm¨uller theory “by his encouragement”. But, this differs from the fact that the author began it by his own will. The same person, in other context as well, modified the author’s email with quotation symbol “>” and fabricated an email, seemingly with ill-intention, as though the author had written it. The author would like to record these facts here for avoiding misunderstandings or misdirections, arising from these kinds of cheats, of the comtemporary and future people. """
I wonder if "I.F." is referring to the same "I.F." quoted in the original article.
