Adair Turner did refer to Mephistopheles in his FSF pdf cited above, but this mention was in the context of advocating the serious consideration of OMT in this particular situation. He goes on to argue:

But before you decide from that that we should always exclude the use of money financed deficits, consider the following paradox from the history of economic thought. Milton Friedman is rightly seen as a central figure in the development of free market economics and in the definition of policies required to guard against the dangers of inflation. But Friedman argued in an article in 1948 not only that government deficits should sometimes be financed with fiat money but that they should always be financed in that fashion with, he argued, no useful role for debt finance. Under his proposal, "government expenditures would be financed entirely by tax revenues or the creation of money, that is, the use of non-interest bearing securities" (EXHIBIT 1) (Friedman,
1948). And he believed that such a system of money financed deficits could provide a surer foundation for a low inflation regime than the complex procedures of debt finance and central bank open market operations which had by that time developed.

A paragraph later Adair notes:

When economists of the calibre of Simons, Fisher, Friedman, Keynes and Bernanke have all explicitly argued for a potential role for overt money financed deficits, and done so while believing that the effective control of inflation is central to a well run market economy - we would be unwise to dismiss this policy option out of hand.

An explicit argument to authority, but, in this case, sweets to the sweet.

"It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
