Yeah, I know, but I just thought it should be pointed out, for those
unfamiliar with the issue, that it's not exactly a matter of
interpretation, except insofar as everything is a matter of
interpretation. McNay et al.'s claim isn't a misinterpretation, it's
simply false.

Anyway, I didn't mean to tell you something you already know as if you
didn't know it. Sorry.
