No has stated the 53E would enter VRS at less than 40 Knots and less than 800 fpm sink rate. The statement you object to is that a 53E put into the same (or really lessor) extremes seen in Arizona would have actually entered VRS. Fact is one of the investigating board members took a 53 into VRS as part of the investigation and stated he would never do that again. You can read that for how he meant it.

Truth is truth, physics is physics. The only great lie is the 53 is safer than a V-22.
