I think he is making the point that the stuff in bold is absolute claptrap.
Yes
Jim Thorpe
I am dismayed with the way Mr Thorpe has behaved for a number of reasons.
Firstly, he comments in his "write up" on PPL/IR that these are his personal views. It is well know that Mr Thorpe is the protagonist of the EIR. He is also a member of FCL008. He is not entitled to personal views or at least not that he should publically air at this stage in the process.
Secondly, either the EIR has been so poorly thought out that he cannot setout in his "write up" how he believes it will work which beggars belief, or he already knows the rating will be worthless other than as a stepping stone to a full IR in which case he should be honest enough to say so.
Thirdly, if you consider the whole "write up" not only does it contain numerous inaccuracies but is terribly biased.
All together posting this on PPL/IR was very badly conceived and I would have thought some of the more responsible members of that organisation (Bookworm as one example comes to mind) would have cautioned him not to go to press.
