I don't remember seeing the following difference between the regular
solver and the alternate solver being mentioned before.
"In fact, the Alternate Solver of LTspice has been doing
extended-precision circuit simulation for a long time."
This difference was extracted from one of the comments to the article.

Hi,
in that article Mike Robins claims superiority of their "CircuitLab"
simulator over all other simulators in respect of numerical resolution.
He shows a LTspice screen with a totaly off solution.
In fact this circuit needs the "alternate" solver to get the right
solution.
Is there a secret .option for seting the solver?
Help says:
"There is no .option to specify which solver is used, the choice must
be made before the netlist is parsed because the two solvers use
different parsers."
Why not?
Wouldn't it be better than puting a text on the shematic, saying
"attention: switch to alternate solver for this deck".
Greetings
