Oh I definitely stole it because it's an easy example that really drives home the point from where we began: they have all, we get none; to they have some better stuff, but we have some of it too; to it continuously getting harder to tell the difference.

I mean, the vacation I went on earlier this year was literally impossible 50 years ago or so. Yet no one thinks about that.
