Your explanation, and my explanation, are very similar, as far as I  
can see, Stefan. So in my experience, since we are both having similar  
feelings about it, and since I have seen readers mis-read it, I  
learned a tiny trick...if you place the arrowheads on TOP of each  
other in a new way...not one after the other, but truly on top of each  
other, the problem of mis-reading goes away for some readers...Maybe  
ask your students...it would be interesting to learn how they feel...I  
would like to know ;-))

This is not just a personal style...we are trying to find good ways to  
write that we all understand...so the writing system can communicate  
everything everyone needs...this is how the system was invented in the  
first place...a sharing of ideas that slowly developed into a common  
understanding...
