I liked how Steve got red flag vibes when Evan gave the Albert Einstein quote because it said it’s “attributed” to Einstein. The actual meaning would suggest that Einstein did in fact say that. But because we so often prepose the word attributed with “has been” and then very often it’s followed up with a “but”, Steve’s skeptical ears perked up! So many instances of “____ has been attributed to Mark Twain but…” I need to get to the point where Steve is, where it’s second nature
