As such people who read those quotes as "replicated the stuff you see" don't really go deep enough in the understanding of a relatively uncomplicated quote. As a matter of fact it's a good litmus test of people's sophistication. If one can't look beyond the obviousness of statement like this, what other "depths" do they fail to discover?
