This was designated "Meade's Maxim" in a 1979 book (1,001 Logical Laws..., p. 153), and not linked directly to Margaret Mead; since around 2001, this has often been attributed to Mead, but there is no definitely documented evidence of this. Anecdotal testimony indicates she did say it in the 1970s : "I heard her say these words in a class as a graduate student. I took them down as notes for the class. I can't say they were unique to her, but she certainly said this." — Alex Randall, Grad student with Mead (1974-1977). (en) |
