Fair enough. The only time I've seen it in dead-tree print was in Heinlein's _Time Enough For Love_, unattributed to anyone else.


if that's true, it would seem that it predates the Hanlon reference by a

on the other hand, Google tells me that "Time Enough For Love" con-
tains a couple of other famous stupidity quotes, including:

    "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity"

do you still have a copy of the book?  (preferrably a version printed
before 1980...)

Not at the moment. I'll try to hit up some used book stores or libraries.
