No need to apologize. We are all tempted to regard the collection of legacy root-seeking methods (Bisection, False-Poisson, Secant, Newton, and Halley) to offer a good choice. But human desire to improve and invent has generated, especially in the last few decades, many new root-seeking algorithms. This progress seem to validate Voltaire's famous quote "The better is the enemy of the good".
