16. An interesting historical footnote, as noted by Drechsel in various talks on the subject, is that when Stern originally proposed a measurement of a possible deviation of the proton moment from the Dirac prediction, Pauli assured him that it would be a waste of time. It is thus ironic that this anomalous magnetic moment piece is called the Pauli term.
