As I mentioned over at Portfolio.com, where this post was originally published, I will be more than happy to append Professor Bornstein's explanations to this post should he wish to provide them.

As for the identification, Professor Bornstein actually greeted me by name, since my name came up on his caller ID; we had been emailing back and forth a few times, so he knew exactly who I was -- especially since he was the person who initiated the email exchange.
