Ahh I recall now where my ire was raised, Russell mentioned the patent 
office, that probably contributed to the tone of the sentence.
An office which allowed patent 6360693 (a stick, cough sorry an animal

As such citing "prior art" in the field of stopping spinning metal seems 
not to have been out of line.
