Very quick (for real this time): Quote misattribution and Voltaire

 OK, so I'm listening to the trial, because of course I am.  The managers gave the following quote:  "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."  The managers made the common mistake of misattributing the line to Voltaire.  Nope.  Evelyn Beatrice Hall.  Yes, I am a stickler for these things.  Also, I dig Voltaire, and the quote.  But get it right, or a snarky, self-important professor will chide you for it on a blog that nobody reads.

Gahhh!
