What makes it appear that way?

The fact that Michael Perelman said he couldn't find it in Paterson's writing(s?), and he seems to be substantiated by Michael Pollak's comments on Quigley.
And, that so far no source in Paterson can be found for Pound's quote.
But I have no personal knowledge about it. Michael Perelman's question is out on the Ezra Pound list now, and I'm all ears.
I'm waiting to see what the Pound scholars say.
