Tubes,
Nothing personal man.
I have caught a couple of Bennie's lectures on this (and other topics) and his question and answer sessions. Invariably the concept of demand "demanding" the supply always comes up.
If there was no demand, there would be no supply. Even his students point this out.
While he is entitled to his opinion, without having him in the conversation would only lead to conjecture and speculation.
After seeing him in action, I know that would be the last thing he would want by getting his opinion in the Gleaner. As he stated, he was making a point to try to get "the right people's" head out of the sand.
