I was at a Yessis seminar a few years back that had Verkoshansky participating via phone. Verkoshansky said American sports scientists were mostly clueless, but Mike Mentzer had some good ideas. Seriously.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

You are the second person I know to relate that story. The Mentzer love was the only thing mentioned about the seminar.
