What do you want me to say? The audio link is just a book plug for a polemic that is widely reported as being biased and factually inaccurate. I haven't read the book and having heard the author and read various reviews and review extracts I'm not going to.
I've conversed with you more than enough previously to know that nothing fruitful will come of us discussing this or anything else further, so I tried to keep my contribution as short as possible whilst directing people to information they may find both relevant and useful. I found this far more constructive than some nonsensical comments about the issue of new bank notes with a new design, something that happens on a regular basis.
If you want to try and provoke a fight by wittering on about "arguments from authority" where none are present, I guess that's your prerogative, but I've got better things to do.
