Re: EPS graphics got them jaggies--OT remark

[Ezra Steinberg <ezra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jason:

Perhaps you are thinking of the remark made by the consulting detective,

"My dear Watson, when all other explanations have been eliminated, the
only
remaining explanation, no matter how improbable, must be true."
