@Owen2108 Its a niche interest, like everything else. Your and other posts seem to imply something else ("not a fool", etc), when this is what it is in reality. This is where your reasoning goes wrong. Classic case of cultural bias, but I find it a bit ironic that people that have "read a lot" dont recognise that fact.

@Disconnected66 I will give you a reply: Your reasoning regarding this does not make sense. There is nothing wrong with attributing some things to a person you heard it from, its not at all inconcievable Asmon would be the one that came up with it, thus no need for searching about its origin. Secondly, some people dont seem to realise knowing quotes like that is but a niche interest, just as anything else. Nothing more. Its a cultural bias that well read people really should recognise...

For people that are "well read" and know this quote by heart, and are shocked other dont know: I wish you would have read a bit more about psychology, information science, statistics and cultural differences. Its seems you havent read enough of that, or forgotten, since you have drew this erroneous conclusion. To use your own phrasing: I cant believe you dont know basic level general statistics and how cultural norms influence learning and what you take an interest in. Unbelivable how you can be ignorant of this! Now what?

@damianwozniak3798 What? The logical leap of your reply is a bit too much for me to bridge, I am afraid. You must have misunderstood something.

@Disconnected66 There does what? I am not sure I follow, did you mean to write something else? "Disagreeing with that is fundamentally disagreeing with what you just said in your comment. " - As per above, disagreeing with what, exactly? "Also, it takes 3 seconds to verify something. 3 seconds. literally. There's no excuse for ignorance IF you also are attempting to make a factual statement." - Yes, thats the IF though. Was anyone attempting to seriously do so? You didnt tag anyone specifically, and the OP doesnt, if you read it again. In any case, I see no one claiming "its his quote and no one elses". There is a vast difference between thinking something and claiming something is 100% true, after all, and a large spectrum between it. But trust me, you do/use the same overarching concept yourself all the time, in other areas that you arent as familiar with. All humans do, its necessary for us to function to make assumptions about all manner of things literally every single second of our lives. You might just be quite sensitive to this specific subject, that fine. Its like any professional in their field watching a TV show and get upset how they got it so wrong or "hollwood-ize" it, but when its a subject they are not as familiar with they buy it hook, line and sinker.

@EldestZelot As are we all (uneducated in general), including you, in the vast amount of areas there are. Its nice to have some true equality among humans.
