>> The C++ pointer-to-member is a fairly confusing concept. What it actually is is a pair - a pointer to the instance of the struct, and a pointer to a function in that struct.

Mr. Bright's description is correct from the perspective of pointer-to-member's use, not when declared nor instantiated.
Given Mr. Bright's role in creating Zortech C, Zortech C++, amongst other compilers, and having used the two specifically mentioned personally, I believe he has a proven understanding of C/C++ compiler implementations.
Since one can interpret Mr. Bright's statement in the form of usage or definition, the former seems most applicable when viewed in the context of the remaining text.
No it's just incorrect and no amount of pandering to his authority will change that.
People make mistakes and this is one of them, it's not the end of the world. Avoid the temptation to believe false information just because you happen to worship someone, it reflects poorly on your ability to critically judge information.

Ad hominem attacks are the hallmark of insecurity and your expression of same reeks of pompousness reserved for the most arrogant I have had the displeasure to engage.
You know nothing about me, nor my background.
I hope you take time to reflect on what you wrote above and choose to engage with others differently in the future.
