G. H. Hardy once said that any fool could have guessed Goldbach's conjecture. He was wrong since there had lived so many fools before Golldbach's time but none of them had guessed the conjecture (that is why Goldbach's name is attached to it).
One might think that any fool could have made G. H. Hardy's remark. But the reasoning in the first paragraph can be applied to the last sentence. Therefore, though G. H. Hardy's remark sounds foolish it is not true that any fool could have made it.
There is a vast area of foolishness reserved for the clever people. Blessed are the fools, for they are unable to explore this "special" area.
