The friggin "definition of insanity" quote that is usually misattributed to Einstein. From some cursory research, a lot of first appearances of the quote come from the 80s, though I saw a few different sources from Narcotics Anonymous pamphlets to mystery novels.
Plus, it's complete bullshit. Trying the same thing over and over, expecting different results, could describe practise, or experimentation.
And even if it were a sign of insanity, it would most certainly not be its definition.
Damn right, yet another hole
