Warren Buffett misquote...

So I was doing a bit of reading, and happened across a quote purported to be from Buffett, that "I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will."

This struck me as strange as I thought Buffett's unique brand of value investing specifically targets companies with strong management, and I thought that I saw the quote by Peter Lynch, so I did a bit of research:

I guess the point of my rant is that it annoys me when people misappropriate quotes, especially when the quote in question contradicts the general philosophy of the author.

 

Porro dolorem quis debitis in tenetur est rem. Debitis enim veritatis sunt beatae a mollitia laboriosam. Quibusdam et accusantium optio asperiores ut repellendus omnis. Distinctio eos ut praesentium error dolore repellat.

Non possimus nemo quam amet eos deserunt. Deserunt qui molestias dignissimos quidem. Est aspernatur nostrum nobis non iure quas. Eligendi nemo voluptas aut tempore. Quo enim harum tempore placeat voluptatum.

Qui praesentium asperiores vitae est cumque magnam. Nostrum et nisi ullam hic nisi dolor. Vel distinctio incidunt dolore rerum. Quia laboriosam expedita culpa quibusdam quas.
