Thanks for the heads up on the quote. I guess someone should remove it from his official "quotes" page on Wikiquote. It's listed at en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth.
I changed it to what it is in the paper you linked.
I believe ideas should be open and free (as in Freedom). This is a non-profit initiative to write about challenging stuff you won’t find anywhere else.
Oh wait! That's a different paper. It looks like he said it somewhere else using different words. TIL.
The reason I raised the concern is that I've been caught on the trap. The internet can be misleading sometimes, see hackernoon.com/the-danger-of-relyi...
I didn't read that paper and I don't know where to find it. It would be good to check the original to see if that's exactly what's written there or link the source (even if it's wikiquote). I've seen multiple publications slightly changing the quote and then what we know today is a complete different one. Think an effect like the wireless telephone you played at school. Even website like Wikipedia get this wrong cause nobody bothers to check the source or the source is not available anymore!
