Exactly what did you find technically wrong with that third hand quote?
Why would I bother? It reveals any one of several many problems:
1. Incorrect reporting through poor transcription;
2. Presumed ascription of source;
3. No access to the original (as third hand offers no citations, or
if it did, it renders third hand reporting as immaterial);
4. No access to the presumed source of the third hand-off;
5. No access to the original (op. cit.) author;
6. Discussion does not attend the topic (and is of no interest to me,
nor others barring their continuing that line of inquiry - I won't
hold my breath for that);
7. Third hand-off reporting is the lame equivalent of celebrity news.
