How can you trust an article that has this in its very first sentence?

    "... it's discovery is attributed to..."


Fortunately, the author redeems himself (at least in terms of
"its" versus "it's") later on:

    "... we can evaluate X[t] and its derivative..."




Orthography: It's vital to understand its importance, particularly
             when dealing with:

             It's (contraction of "it is" or "it has").

             Its (possessive adjective -- the possessive form of "it").


It's been a while since HP invented its MPE-Image system ;-)
