| There are *no* mathematical (algebraic) operations in InputForm!
and I'm saying that once you've added them, as for Expression T,
you'll see no difference. Adding them is precisely what people do
when they start "symbolic computation" and "simplification".

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying.
BTW, it is possible to read Watt's paper and not agreeing with him.
And it is possible to agree with him and not reading his paper.
But again, what he said in his paper has nothing to do with the
distinction between Expression T and InputForm I'm concerned with.
