Please calm down. Such a claim would not be "psychotic" (I presume you're not qualified to make such a psychiatric diagnosis). It would simply be factually incorrect. But I don't believe that anyone has made such a claim. Please cite the exact wording (from Mendelson, if I've followed the context correctly) that you've interpreted that way. I expect (with less than 100% certainty) that someone here will be able to explain how you've misunderstood it.
