What I thought of immediately!

In the 70s and 80s it was not uncommon to run across a CS paper whose title was a play on some aphorism or poetic quotation. That playfulness is much less common these days.

Didn't quite get the connection here. Care to elaborate? :)

In the context of comp-sci, I'd say it applies to requiring a Strict Serializable consistency model merely because it's easier to reason about it, even if some other model would be a better fit to the problem at hand.

Double plus if you use that model because you don't know of the existence of the others.
