Hm. It seems that's the paragraph doesn't continue into (or come from) any broader explanation, which might be why it failed to make an impression on me back when I read it. I'll have to look into the accusation for the sake of being able to have an informed opinion on it.
All the same, that is a legitimate source, and I can definitely confirm that that quote is in my copy, so the comment remains.
