Just pointing to a book that contains the allegation is not a referrable source.

You're kidding, right?

So all those footnotes in all those academic papers that refer to books are not legitimate sources? After all, looking it up in a book would require getting off your duff and going down to your local public library.

The group was at Emporia State, in the early 1980's, and had a name something like 'International Society for the study of Pi'. When I get home this evening, I will post exact details.

I do try to confirm them when I see something that just doesn't smell legitimate.

I suspect it was an april fools joke or a hoax. Especially if it was coming from a University.
