- yreg 8y agoIs there a way to dispute the story on folklore? drfuch's comment should be appended there.
- dagw 8y agoThe story is 100% veritably folklore. I know this since I've been hearing the story for at least 20 years starring a good half dozen different characters. The fact that is almost certainly not true (and Knuth has denied it) seems quite irrelevant.
