I'm sorry, you're confusing me again.  In what way is this discussion either old or settled?  The section appears to be open for further discussion.  SS made a claim that Mark's reading of the statement was incorrect, I don't agree but am open to being shown some alternative interpretation (since I might learn something), and so it seems perfectly acceptable to ask him how he interprets the statement since he believes Mark's reading was incorrect.  This all relates to how the article should take such things into account so I fail to see how this is even off topic.  Waiting is fine but that doesn't mean we can't discuss it in the mean time.  So, Stephan, what do you think they meant if not what Mark thinks they meant?
