What I find most entertaining is the notion that, at this late stage,
Heathfield could be so brain dead as to actually purport to believe that
anyone, anywhere, puts the least bit of credibility to what he writes.

No, not at all...

Actually, that's one thing Heathfield has (amazingly!) got right.
He really doesn't give a fig about anyone else's opinion(s).
