I think I have the 2014 version. I don't think the IBM story itself is too important, but it does make me a bit more skeptical about other things that I have little firsthand knowledge of. As a comparison I remember reading a local newspaper article about something I happened to be involved in and the details were a bit off, making me wonder about the other articles I had no prior knowledge of.
The Wizard of Oz bit is mostly color, but he relates it to the difficulty state-money theorists have had in coming up with similar narratives, and also that the myth of barter has persisted for lack of a similar anthropological myth for money.
