It'd be sad if Armstrong, a de facto ambassador for science, had said
something so baseless. Is there any evidence that he actually did?


I have a feeling that whoever did say it was saying it in jest, and in
jest it would not be sad if Armstrong said it.

I just can't resist a challenge. The first 3 pages of Google hits do
seem to back up Armstrong as a source, unlike an awful lot of wit
wrongly attributed to George Carlin, Erma Bombeck and Andy Rooney - most
of those erroneous.
