What evidence might that be?
The quote comes from a film 20 years earlier, Karate Kiba, not from the OT (despite the attribution in PF).

Defendant's unlawful failure to inform consumers that updating
their iPhone 6, 6S, SE or 7 (the "Legacy Devices") to iOS 10.2.1
(and/or later to iOS 11.2) would dramatically and artificially
reduce the performance of the Legacy Devices.
Apple also failed to inform consumers that phone performance
would be restored – by as much as 70 percent – if affected
individuals simply replaced the phone's lithium-ion battery.
Replacing the battery at an Apple store costs less than $100.
The cost of the new iPhone X is over $1,000.
I would think that for that kind of money there would be some disclosure. "these coveted, precocious artifacts"
should be
"these coveted, precious artifacts"
There was a lot of disbelief in this article about our ancestors using metal from meteorites. Iron from meteorites has been used for at 6,000 years. Ferrous metallurgy is the metallurgy of iron and its alloys.
It began far back in prehistory. The earliest surviving iron
artifacts, from the 4th millennium BC in Egypt, were made
from meteoritic iron-nickel.[1]

Likewise, knowledge, drinking up the water of ignorance, grows so large that it completely annihilates itself.
This absolute knowledge is like the intrinsic fullness of the moon, which is unaffected by its apparent waxing and waning.
~Jnaneshwar
Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish.
~Rumi
My words are very easy to understand
And very easy to practice.
Still, no one in the world
Can understand or practice them.
My words have an origin.
My deeds have a sovereign.
Truly, because people do not understand this,
They do not understand me.
That so few understand me is why I am treasured.
Therefore, the sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade.
~Lao Tzu
Perhaps, the article showcases a confusion between the knowledge of the world, deemed philosophy, and the knowledge of the absolute, also called philosophy. Hence, there is philosophy as interpretation and argument on the one hand, and philosophy as revelation on the other. This is seen in the philosophers listed in the article.
