I thought I did this but the article has only been viewed like 200 times so clearly I need to up the ante.
My undergraduate advisor’s one recommendation for an academic career was to publish something very controversial first and then spend the next several decades backtracking.

May as well argue that Hindus only came up with the concept of kshatriya dharma after watching Disney's Robin Hood.
