You see stuff like this and wonder, ‘Why didn’t this dude do a little homework’?

“’Know thy enemy,’ said Sun Tzu, the famous Chinese military strategist of the 6th century B.C.”

No, no, no. Every translation I have read of The Art of War has, “If you know your enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the outcome of a thousand battles.”

Yes, “Know thy enemy” takes up a lot less space, but after reading the incorrect quote, I didn’t bother with the remainder of the piece.
