Good engines follow orders

Yeah, i agree.

Point i was trying to make was "okay, suppose you don't know it's Cherokee. Your opinion on this somehow changes? If it does, maybe *that* is why 'Cherokee' was added here in the first place?".

We still definitely should expose bullshit and misattributing quotes/sayings.

What i was trying to confront was not only the lie about origin, but also the *reason* the lie is here in the first place. Because next time we might not recognize the lie, or the origin will be truthful, but we still need to be aware of how attributing quote so someone might make us put more weight in it than necessary.

Would the fact that Cherokee came up with this saying somehow give it additional merit? Would the fact that they didn't somehow substract from its merit?

I mean, i have strong suspicion that this saying is attributed to Cherokee only to get "omg omg wise old cherokee said it by the fire so deep much wisdom very nature" reaction. But it has or has not its meaning regardless.
