Interesting that you are seemingly willing to take several second-hand accounts and interpretations of what his comments were and the context in which they were made from sources nowhere near the room, yet are okay assuming that what she wrote is merely "hearsay" or "exaggerated" despite her claim that she was sitting next to them during the conversation. I don't, by the way, find this to be a coincident. It seems perfectly logical that you would sit near people you know at a dinner party.
