Thanks for that clarification, Bob. (I guess I can scratch the email I was 
composing to Dr. Gregory).

We all sometimes hear things that weren't said, or actually were said by 
mistake.  Even the smartest people sometimes use the wrong phrase or word in 
a talk, often repeatedly until they catch themselves --or don't. (and you 
can see the audience suddenly looking at one another in amusement or 
puzzlement).

No matter whether the miscommunication was due to the speaker or the 
listener, you did the right thing here and went back to the horse's mouth, 
then clarified the facts and intent.  I'd personally appreciate it if you 
would do the same with Dr. Degrandi-Hoffman regarding the phrase you have 
attributed to her.  If you can get her to own it, and even elaborate, I will 
shake your hand.
