Apart than computer algorithms, what's so special about log-convex functions? Is it so important that it's better than being "correct"?
I know that when Euler's gamma was made, the function wasn't meant to be extended into negative numbers, but people ended up doing so anyways. Now I'm wondering why people didn't consider defining an interpolation function for (-n)!.
