them demonstrated in this appendix, the question must be

raised, why not adopt this approach?
An answer is that the 20-solvent test matrix noted in
Table C9-1 appears to be overly complicated, despite the

obvious simplicity of the solubility detection method

noted in Footnote 2.
Everything is availabledfor a price. One can simplify
the text matrix in any way desired: Delete every other
