dmigtysolomon, It is intellectual gap..If I stated it as you suggested, what difference would it make? It is not someone's research work, we do not have the name of the author.. so what is the point? What is 'realistic' and why it has to be the way you suggest?

Can you find out who is the author of underlying note?

OK.. another scenario.. I claim that I am the original author of this note.. I forwarded to a couple of people, a chain was established and you were one of the thousand recipients.. then?
