In contrast, we show that for links with at least 9 components, there must exist finite type homotopy invariants which are not products of the linking numbers. This corrects previous errors of the first author.13 pages, 5 figuresGeometric Topology57M27On the Existence of Finite Type Link Homotopy Invariantstext
