    Nowhere in the book does that anecdote appear — and certainly not on the pages mentioned.

    The “journalist” wrote the article without reading the book.

      I mean, would you? First of all, it’s far simpler to just do a ctrl-f on various keywords, like “couch”, “sofa”, or wink wink “LOVEseat”. Secondly, they don’t make nearly enough money to willingly poison their minds reading that absolute garbage.

        That’s what I found funny about it. It’s something that could have been resolved in an instant of people said either “Yes, it’s on page whatever whatever,” or “We just read it, and no, it’s not there.” It took longer to resolve because of how few people have read it recently, or were willing to read it now.
