regurgitating a past that never existed / regurgitating a critique that's 14-years--old (at a bare minimum)

Martin Ingle oblivious to the irony of banging on about an already banged-to-bits critique

"regurgitating a past that never existed" - apart from that being a contradiction in terms (if it never existed, it could never be consumed in the first place, let alone puked up again for the re-eating), if that is actually what is going on, then it would be quite an interesting state of affairs. Unprecedented, even!
