The reference that supports it is E12 but for some reason does not actually
appear in the bibliography.

Come on Harry - Pias is a reputable source and he quotes Einstein as
actually saying it. I am sure Pias can back it up.

Well it seems Einstein did not agree with you.

Quoting from a standard source by a reputable researcher in the area is not
spreading rumors.

I agree that it would be better if the reference Pias gave in support
actually appeared in the bibliography but it is obvious much greater weight
must be given to such sources than the innuendo being peddled by
Australopithecus Afarensis who, has been documented by Dirk, is obviously
anti Jewish.
