Résumé
The standard U(1) ''gauge principle'' or ''gauge argument'' produces an exact potential A=df and a vanishing field F=ddf=0. Weyl has his own gauge argument, which is sketchy, archaic and hard to follow; but at least it produces an inexact potential A and a nonvanishing field F=dA. I attempt a reconstruction.
