Re: Who said that?

["Trevis Rothwell" <address@hidden>]

If we're thinking of the same quote, then Alan Perlis said that,
and it goes like:

"You think you know when you learn, are more sure when you can
write, even more when you can teach, but certain when you can
program."

I thought it was printed somewhere in SICP, but I may be
mistaken...  :-)

Hi everyone,

there's a quote whose source and exact wording I can't recall.
The
sentiment goes something like: "When you read about it, [blank];
when
you can teach it, [another blank]; when you can program it, you
understand."  Does anyone know what this quote is?
