More authentic source

(Edit as this is getting downvoted: a request was made for better sourced quote to confirm authenticity, but I didn't want to just overwrite the original source as that would have unfairly made RichardKennaway's perfectly valid suspicions given the evidence he had at the time look rather odd).

I can't believe you just straight out named the source!

Please rot13 this (the entire paragraph, it's a blatant clue).
