  My tone was meant to be gently humorous, not seriously precise. I was reminded of a guy on another site who was backing up his arguments with quotes from a book -- that he wrote. When someone called him on it he didn't miss a beat; he said it was a good book four years ago when he wrote it and still a good book worth quoting.
