Interesting site that "examines" the articles posted in the New York Times

Quite a lot of information on how quotes get mangled over time & get popular thus immortalizing the person who made the quote. Then again, sometimes quotes are misattributed. It also mentions a couple of books that help verify the authenticity of quotes & traces their origins.
"Public circulation is what renders something a quotation. It’s quotable because it’s been quoted, and its having been quoted gives it authority. Quotations are prostheses. “As Emerson/Churchill/Donald Trump once observed” borrows another person’s brain waves and puts them to your own use. (If you fail to credit Emerson et al., it’s called plagiarism. But isn’t plagiarism just the purest form of quotation?) Then, there is a subset of quotations that are personal. We pick them up off the public street, but we put them to private uses. We hoard quotations like amulets. They are charms against chaos, secret mantras for dark times, strings that vibrate forever in defiance of the laws of time and space. That they may be opaque or banal to everyone else is what makes them precious: they aren’t supposed to work for everybody. They’re there to work for us. Some are little generational badges of identity. Some just seem to pop up on a million occasions. Some are razors."
An analysis of how the fake quote "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. - Martin Luther King, Jr" originated & went viral through the social networks in a couple of days
View on analyst integrity from a Gartner analyst. The comments thread is in fact more interesting with a lot of debates & finger pointing, particular at sales who may be in part responsible for giving rise to the "pay for play" allegations.
Never knew one could analyse a song so in-depth.
A real legend & possible one of the greatest before Bradman

I wonder whether they used this theory in the Age of Empires & other such strategy game series
