[edit] reflected through the remaining N points considered as a plane

"The simplest step is to replace the worst point with a point reflected through the remaining N points considered as a plane."

I think this might be misleading or wrong. All implementations of this I've seen so far do reflect the worst point at the center of the remaining N points and not at the (hyper-)plane. Reflecting at the center is like New=Center-(Worst-Center), while reflecting at the plane would be like moving it along the plane's normal. But since I'm no expert in this field, I don't want to correct this myself. --88.73.211.225 23:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm no expert either, but the web pages and articles I consulted agree. So I made the correction. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
