Yeah, and apparently because you started by trying to say "this proves 
it", they've rejected those edits as well, perhaps thinking you're trying 
to sneak your "proof of inspiration" in the back door by starting with 
something less declarative in the hopes that later you (or someone else) 
will be able to make a minor edit that changes it back to being proven.
