Fawcett (2010: xxiii):
Thus, whether or not one retains the intermediate level of 'multiple structure' representations of IFG in one's model of language, every systemic functional grammar requires a representation of syntax in a single, integrated structure, underpinned by a set of theoretical concepts such as those set out in Part 2 of this book.

This repeats the still undemonstrated claim that the metafunctional clause structures of SFL theory are 'intermediate', and need to be integrated into a single formal syntactic structure. This is a continuation of the logical fallacy known as proof by (repeated) assertion.
