Interesting. Had no idea this classic misattribution was in fact from Rousseau.

Yeah, and that is annoying. I specifically remember that quote as a test question from when I was in highschool.

I mean, I probably got the question right back then but as I get older, the more stuff I find that I need to relearn.

Learning is a journey and reviewing old assumptions is always a good thing albeit time consuming.
