"Proof by analogy is fraud".

Many people know this quote but do not know to whom it is attributed to. I googled around and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was first mentioned in one of my all time favorite book on programming: "The C++ programming language" by Bjarne Stroustrup.
"How do you find spinners in South Africa? Do you send secret agents into the hinterlands?"

Daphne - I don't see what's so hard about telling Roz you were wrong.

From the Frasier episode "Roz in the Doghouse".
