dc.descriptionThe great enumerator Germain Kreweras empirically discovered this intriguing fact, and then needed lots of pages[K], and lots of human ingenuity, to prove it. Other great enumerators, for example, Heinrich Niederhausen[N], Ira Gessel[G1], and Mireille Bousquet-Mélou[B], found other ingenious, ``simpler'' proofs. Yet none of them is as simple as ours! Our proof (with the generous help of our faithful computers) is ``ugly'' in the traditional sense, since it would be painful for a lowly human to follow all the steps. But according to our humble aesthetic taste, this proof is much more elegant, since it is (conceptually) one-line. So what if that line is rather long (a huge partial-recurrence equation satisfied by the general counting function), it occupies less storage than a very low-resolution photograph.
