Peace.
Perhaps I could ask for the name of the book in each case so that I can go and check? This is the easiest of your claims for you to provide references for, I'm trying to make it simple for you. If what you claim here is true I'll eat my hat, how's that?

You could even try to really impress the thread's readers by giving the relevant quote from each book rather than just a list of authors.
