Wow, I'd totally forgotten where I got that from.

But in this particular case, it's deserved, considering that a certain idea I first encountered in PKH is an element of HPMOR.

(You probably don't want to read through PKH trying to figure it out. No, seriously, it's figureable from the main text and PKH isn't going to help much.)

It's mentioned on the Tropes page under How Unscientific. So not that, huh?
