One of the earlier episodes of Back to Work. It wasn't an accusation. I think Merlin was just projecting his own frustration with the Someday/Maybe list (which, IIRC, he called "a crock") and with some GTD orthodoxy in general–he doesn't do weekly reviews, for instance (he said that in passing on a recent Mac Power Users podcast).

Regarding the Someday/Maybe comment, I took it to mean that he believes the list works in theory but not in practice. I'm not surprised that he seems to think that some aspects of GTD need updating. I still remember him asking David in his 43 Folders interview about what he would change in the system since the first book was published. Merlin seemed genuinely surprised when David replied that he wouldn't change anything.
