Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

    “Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

    An individual, uneducated observer might not be able to tell them apart, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a distinction.

    One of the avengers movies dropped that line, and I feel like it’s spread like wild fire since then, and it’s just objectively not correct.

      I understand much of the technology we use today isn’t magic, but it may as well be with how much I understand about how it works.

      I don’t think you quite grasp what Arthur C Clarke was going for with this one.
