Lyndall Crisp of the Australian Financial Review is loose with the facts. Crisp tells us (p61, AFR 16/05/07) that Edward de Bono now claims to have originated ’software for the brain’.

This ‘news’ is in spite of the fact that a very convenient Google Scholar search would have provided Crisp with the inconvenient fact that Software for the Brain was written by Michael Hewitt-Gleeson 18 years before Edward makes this claim!

Has Edward had another memory lapse? Has AFR’s Crisp had a fact-check lapse? Or, is this like BRW’s Leo D’Angelo Fisher ‘thinking hats’ deja vu all over again? Come on Fairfax, give the Aussie product a fair go. Let’s get it right!
