Abstract
It should be of interest, whether Dirac's equation involves all 16 basis elements of his Clifford algebra These include the 6 `tensorial' with which the `Pauli terms' are formed. We find that these violate a basic axiom of any *-algebra, when Dirac's is canonical. Then the Dirac operator is spanned only by the 10 elements (which don't form a basis of because the are excluded).
