The quote doesn't occur in your source. Lots of computer scientists have expressed this idea in various ways, but (and I hesitate to say something so obvious it approaches tautology) it isn't the source for the quote if the quote doesn't occur in it.

Yes, indeed. That is why I provided the source of the misquote.
