More apocraphyl quote-busting

posted by Zed on January 25 2007 07:40

Here’s a cranky debunking of this non-quote:

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganization; and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.”

— Petronius Arbiter - Greek Navy - 210 BC

Petronius Arbiter was the author of The Satyricon and lived from 27-66.
