Particularly on Page 5 of 6 where it talks about Finkelstein's mathematical errors.

Personally I find it interesting that no one cited Finkelstein's work. Serious scholars such as Hourani and Porath would have done so if they had used it as a basis.

Rather what I think happened is that Chomskey's reputation caused people to take the time to critically read Peter's work and not pass it off like Daniel Pipes did. Those issues which were problematic to Finkelstein would be immediately noted by experts such as Hourani and Porath and raised again.

Again The quote from Porath intimated that he and his colleagues knew immediately (not needing any prompting from Chomskey & Finkelstein) that the book was problematic. But you are right I should have used the word "cited", not "quoted".
