Well, I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong.  It looks like Pat is
right.  Another thread (on another website) discusses this very same
issue.

I have no idea how or why this protocol would work, but what do I know?
 Someone on here was using a 10:1 ratio of Taq to Pfu.....so give it a
shot.

This protocol is very counter-intuitive (at least to me) on,
mechanistically, how these enzymes would cooperate to achieve a higher
fidelity reaction.  Oh well.
