Apart from Paul Graham being the co-founder of YC, it is highly interesting to see someone's "quote" getting refuted publicly, directly by someone they claim to have said something. I see a lot of quotes by Einstein, Abe Lincoln, and Gandhi every day that are so wildly imagined. Most basic common-knowledge being packed as quotes by them. And people upvote/like/share stuff like that like sheep. None of them are alive. They can't say anything to stupid stuff they are accredited to, but didn't really say. There are several fact-finding websites [0] run by people to debunk fake quotes and this is a common passtime of some nerds [1]. But here we see, in the age of Twitter, someone is getting caught red-handed by the exact same person, not some fact-finder, not some fact-checking site, etc. It is highly interesting to see. Isn't that the criteria for HN posts?
