81: 71: 53: 22: 381:. So the article ought to go out of its way to make it ultra-clear what "true in dimension n" means: If it is true in dimension n, does n refer to the dimension of the domain of the function, or the dimension of the Euclidean space of which the graph is a submanifold? I hope someone knowledgeable on this subject will fix this ambiguity in the article. 345: 165: 133: 416: 127: 411: 160:
Combined with the result of Simons, this shows that the analogue of Bernstein's theorem is true in dimensions up to 8, and false in higher dimensions.

Anyone contributing to mathematics articles in Knowledge ought to understand English well enough to avoid this kind of ambiguity.

In order to make this clear, the words "up through" should be used. And then just to make it

This is unclear because the phrase "up to the integer n"
