One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    It doesn’t matter if I understand how the alien antigravity socks work -if they’re tech, they’re tech.

    • If you are a reasonable person (and not dreaming or insane), you can tell them apart quite easily: if it’s actually there, it’s tech.
    • If you are a superstitious person (or dreaming or insane), you can tell them apart quite easily: if it’s actually there, it’s magic.

    See? That’s what I like about the quote. It points to the fact that the difference is in the eye of the beholder.
