I've read the book a few times and browsed through the relevant parts again before writing this. The only times "trowel" is mentioned is in an early picture text and in the glossary. While Michael B. reasoning makes some sense, it's not from the book.
(The reason for me putting "review" in quotes is that the article written by Michael B. much looks like a review, but it's rather a write-up of the (five) things that he have learnt from the book.)

Now, I don't mind if you prove me wrong.
