It may be obvious to you, it took me some time to come to the same
conclusion, but yes, I agree.

In terms of the post I have just made replying to Burce, this would be
(correctly in my view) privileging (OED sense 2: The action of according
high status, validity, or importance to a concept, viewpoint, etc., in
comparison to others) 4.14.E1 and saying that the author of THIS file
believes that this DLMF equation defines something useful. I'd be happier
if these files were therefore written by/in cooperation with DLMF.
