On the Sign of $\Delta M_B$, $M_{12}$, sin$2\phi_1$ and all that

Abstract

We are withdrawing our paper hep-ph/0411135 since its main conclusion is wrong as we have learnt with the assistance of Bob Cahn and Jerome Charles. The sign of $\Delta M_B$ does not matter in interpreting the CP asymmetry in $B_d \to \psi K_S$, as we could have seen from our very own Eq.(13). We know now how to derive the correct result of Grossman, Kayser and Nir also using our phase convention. Nostra culpa! As Bob Cahn told us we should have had more confidence in our own book.
