Ah! I had forgotten about that convo. No, I finished it ages ago.

Interestingly the review (you may've read it) tackles the relevance issue head on and agreed completely with me. Still no. Very impressed and I think some critics are viewing Bleeding Edge as something of a return to form (a return which I think was hinted at heavily in Inherent Vice, which I consider a very good novel).
