We also have Perry's warning that actual murri is carcinogenic. Then we have 
a later statement that perhaps it is not....  Neither opinion was backed by 
any information  that would support either view. :-( 

In view of that I would suspect that the use of 'fake murri' would be more 
acceptable than not using recipes that called for murri at all....
