No, I can't accept the money -- it was all in fun. If we ever find ourselves at a cafe together, I'll buy you a coffee.
As for misstatement, I don't think that is at all harsh. A quick search for some definitions turned up my intended meaning "misstate - state something incorrectly", or "misstatement: a statement that contains a mistake". Also if you read my whole post, you will see that the tone was meant to be comic and provocative. I guess I should be careful to make my intended meaning more clear in email -- it's a lot easier to do in conversation.
