Yes, this is what I said in that article:
"Nowadays we buy mustard flour, ground and sifted/bolted in the same
manner as wheat flour, but Sarah Garland in The complete book of herbs and
spices, and Rosetta Clarkson in Magic Gardens: A modern chronicle of herbs
and savory seeds, say that the modern process for bolting mustard flour
was not invented until the 18th century (1700's)."

Now I shall have to go look at all the sources and update the document
before sending the update to Stefan. *shakes head*
