    Just note that Terry Tao is on the letter. This is a guest post.

      I wish Terry Tao would prepend the guest names on his blogposts, this is not the first time it's confusing.

        Isn’t it the very first thing just after the title?

        To be fair, the post does start with "This is a guest post by Timothy Gowers", feels pretty clear already. But of course, assumes reading beyond the title.
