I agree with the content of the quote -

however, there is no evidence that Einstein ever said it or wrote it anywhere, ever in his entire life. He died in 1955. The oldest attribution of that quote is dated 1969, in a journal called Advances in Instrumentation.

Even with a computer there is no substitute for a good operator. Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. On the other hand, a well trained operator as compared with a computer is incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant.
