I have taken out,
 
"In these formalizations, the existence of a fixed-point combinator means that ''every function has at least one fixed point;'' a function may have more than one distinct fixed point."
 
I don't believe this statement, but will happily eat crow if someone can show me a fixed point term in normal form for the function,
 
:<math>\lambda p.\lambda a.\lambda b.p\ b\ a</math>
 
The basis of learning is finding out you are wrong so please prove me wrong, and I will put the statement back.
