Yes, the algebra works, but you lose the intuition for what's going on.

There's a pattern of factorial terms you see with successive integrations: 1/1, 1/2, 1/6, 1/24, 1/n!,

Multiplying by 2 changes this to 2, 1, 1/3, 1/12, 2/n!.

I view that as a clear loser, not a winner.

Ok. Thanks for the exchange.
