I wish people would stop putting words in my mouth.
Since I was one of those people, let me say this up front:
If I ever claim that somebody meant something, or said something (other than with a direct quotation), what I mean is that this is what I believe that they meant, on the basis of what they literally said. And furthermore, the person in question is invited to correct me if I am wrong.
In this particular case, I apologise to Ed that I was wrong.
