I don't have any great hopes that that particular piece of mis-attribution will go away, but I do keep plugging at it. Go figure.

It's just sort of a pet peeve- Einstein was a brilliant theoretician, and I guess it bugs me a bit to see his name used to make these sorts of tepid 12 step-isms sound more authoritative.

Simple fact of the matter is, sometimes doing the same thing DOES get different results, and even when it doesn't, that's not "insanity".

None of this is intended as criticism of you; plus, I know it's an easy thing to throw out there, and it probably has a kernel of truth in there somewhere.
