Most of the golden rato/Fibonacci debunking traces back to a pleasantly acerbic article by George Markowsky in The College Mathematics Journal, Vol. 23, No. 1 (Jan., 1992), pp. 2-19. The text from which we teach our “math for liberal arts” survey course repeats the false statements (even though it also cites the Livio book!), so I assign this article by Markowsky as a counterpoint.
