Bonus points if it’s usually misused/misunderstood by the people who say it

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. And as far as I can tell Einstein never said it but it’s always attributed to Einstein

      If I just rolled a 6 I’m not going to expect the same result if I roll the die again.

        I would argue that you didn’t roll the die the exact same way…

        Of course there could be other things other than your movements like wind that also affects the outcome.

          Right, so even if I’m doing the same thing I’m not doing it in the exact same way, so the result may be different.
