You're absolutely right. Once again, someone who allegedly know everything betrays his ignorance.

Of course Bobby Kennedy's famous statement "Some men see things as they are and ask 'Why?' I dream things that never were and ask 'Why not?'" was actually 'borrowed' from George Bernard Shaw.

And now I'm reminded of the great lines from Fiddler On The Roof:

Tevye: As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land... ”
Mendel: Moses said that.
Tevye: Ah. Well, as King David said, "I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
Mendel: That was also Moses.
Tevye: For a man who was slow of tongue, he talked a lot.
