Since everyone is getting called out on nits today, I'm going to point out that he calls "Combinatorial Problems and Exercises" a paper, which means that he's (a) not into combinatorics, because it's an important _book_ in the field; and (b) he can't be bothered to google the thing even though he's going to rip on Wright for referencing it.

I have no idea (or care really) about who is right but there's clearly epic trolling going on here.

At the same time, Wright is obviously a chimp himself. I doubt I know anyone with any combinatorics knowledge who would describe it as "a process," mistake permutations for subsets, and then cite Lovasz to define binomial coefficients.
