I was referring to Asseline's book, p. 35/36. Scattered all over that book, there are a few passages where I can imagine Mazières putting down his copy, muttering "Will you please just speak for yourself, Michel?", and this is one of them. But all in all, Asseline was reasonably cautious about that issue.
