It would useful if someone who had actually studied this stuff could confirm or dismiss that statement.

I've spent too much time hanging around with vapid academics to really care to be honest
Sorry, I should have said 'confirm or dismiss that I had given an accurate account of the Platonic model'. I didn't mean to imply they should say whether the statement was itself true.

I'm not one to defer to academics much either, but it is always helpful to be sure we are talking about the same thing, so I care whether it is accurate, and as I said above, I could easily be misunderstanding it.
