Sometimes they say annoying things that are also -- wrong.

"Mother Theresa wasan atheist, filled with self doubt. But she was an authentic saint, because she always acted like one." - Seth Godin

Sigh.
On the above, Mr. Godin is wrong.
Mother Theresa was not, by any stretch of the imagination, an Atheist. Ever. (Not that there is anything wrong with being an Atheist if that is a club that you have joined. Who is the Fab to say one way or the other. Mother Theresa, however, wasn't a member.)
Technically, neither is she a Saint. Yet.
But Mother Theresa ACTED as a saint does, all the time, which makes her a saint, and that was Mr. Godin's point. So, that part isn't lost.
He did state as fact, something that isn't. Which is too bad. The Fab does the same thing from time to time; when it is on purpose, she identifies it by announcing that "It is a known fact". When she does it because she believes something to be true, but it isn't, then the Fab is just wrong.
It happens.
Sigh.
