Thank you for catching this. I mistakenly trusted what the Slashdot cover 
note appeared to be saying.

My sincere apologies to anyone who may have taken offense at this 
misattribution, and of course especially to Eran. The technical points 
raised do seem to be of interest, and assuming John K. is correct, several 
of them may indeed be Eran's opinion after all.
