After showing how this is not true in general, we explain how to address this question for the left-right correlator and any particular pinched weight, taking advantage of our previous work [1], where the possible high-energy behavior of the left-right spectral function was studied. In particular, we show that the use of pinched weights allows to determine with high accuracy the dimension six and eight contributions in the operator-product expansion, O-6 = (-4.3(-0.7)(+0.9)) x 10(-3) GeV6 and O-8 = (-7.2(-5.3)(+4.2)) x 10(-3) GeV8. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.82.014019 %U http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/1004.4987 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.82.014019 %P 014019-7pp
