To be clear, I did not claim that the paper said that; just that it was in the zeitgeist when the paper was released.

I shouldn't have borrowed 'misrepresent' from the person I replied to; 'misunderstand' or 'misinterpret' would've been a better choice. My read of the paper is that you can posit a stable model with perfect recall capable of doing genuinely useful things and it doesn't meaningfully affect the argument, which is more philosophical than technical.

I don't mean to defend the paper in general, though. It has plenty of problems.
