I'm embarrassed to say that back when I was young and naïve I actually believed he'd said that.

Yes, I know what he MEANT, but that's what he SAID.

Yes, it was poorly worded. But he didn't say "invented". I was surprised to see how much he actually did in Congress to shape the landscape that did allow it to flourish. And how much credit some of the legends of the day give him (like Vint Cerf).

He said "create[d]", it's the same damn thing.

I took the initiative to create the evacuation plan at work, doesn't mean I invented the idea of running away from fire.

Wrong again -- It was William Buffett who invented the Evacuation Plan and that is why he is so famous.
