 No, its not.  It is true I cannot prove "purpose" beyond any doubt, 
 however, had I instead written "The early RFDs had a special 
 definition of slr with the effect of excluding cheap slrs", there 
 would be nothing for you to challenge.  But considering "purpose" as a 
 conclusion, its a well supported conclusion.
