That's one reason why I don't typically 'like' or 'upvote' quotes.

However, to be fair, that quote could easily be a NdGT quote, and he has probably even publicly said things to the same effect. Those people were duped, but not extensively mislead.

If I were in NdGT's shoes I would probably think "Hmm, well that sounds like something I might have said" if I saw it or were asked about it in an interview. Though it's sort of ironic that the quote in the video that went viral is itself about checking your facts.
