In other fields, technical reports are considered "inaccessible",
hence not fair game for citation.  This is a case in point, where the
author is having a hard time tracking the thing down.  If the idea is
really worth citing, then it should have been published in a more
accessible form.  At the very least, the reviewer should have
suggested a more solid reference.

Oh well...
