There's no math without head banging :-)

I don't know, because I cannot see what idea you are using behind your argument.
Perhaps if you explain the main idea in one-two words, I will be able to see it.

If you mean the address: morpheus(a)olympus.mons, that's a fake address I use with
all my posts, because of spam problems.

....

I was to sloppy it seems:

The fct is holomorphic iff the (real) Jacobi-Matrix in the
usual coordinates is complex linear for the chosen point
(x,y). And in that case it is the complex derivative (one
has to take care what that should mean).

Now a holomorphic fct has only isolated critical points.

My fault was: those are the critical points of the real
fct, which would be det(J) = 0. But one needs J = 0.
