I think the comment you're responding to was using that as an example of a "silly opinion" that needs revising.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated my comment to be illustrative rather than corrective.

Completely agree however that was the line German government officials were trotting out to justify buying fuel from Russia when other EU countries were rolling their eyes.
