There's overwhelming evidence that a lot of

I believe that Bob meant to
say that "the resistance is independent of the voltage provided
that the temperature remains constant"

I'll bet he didn't.

Have you looked at the I/V curve of a diode
recently? Temperature isn't the issue.
The small-signal resistance changes by
a factor of zillions depending on what
operating point you choose.
