the status of the alleged Einstein quote....
Paul Bonaventura quoted a version of it, saying "I favour
Albert Einstein's advice: "Not everything that can be counted
counts and not everything that counts can be counted".
I wrote to Mr. Bonaventura. He has no source.
Next, I discovered that an author in the respected _British
Medical Journal_ uses that quote as no less than the _title_
of a recent commentary and again, he has no source....
Well, as the Lord Almighty once said (quoted in Taylor, 2005): "The ability
to track down the source of a quotation used to give an
'authoritative-stamp-of-approval' to a questionable claim is inversely
related to the amount of objective and verifiable evidence actually
supporting the claim."
Best,
