—Attributed to Alan Turing
Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
But he never said the line: it was a bit of dialogue of the character playing his childhood friend Christopher Morcom in the film version of Turing’s life, particularly centered around his World War II codebreaking efforts, The Imitation Game*. Yet every reference I found attributes it to Turing.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
