Gould did suggest that creationists who misquote him might not be lying. They could just be stupid.

We're seeing an incredible failure to recognize contrary evidence right here on this thread. It's either Morton's Demon on steroids or something we're not allowed to directly and accurately characterize anymore. I don't think stupidity alone really works as an explanation, as no one functioning straightforwardly at this level could operate a PC, even running windows.

Paraphrasing Dawkins: ignorant, stupid, lying, and/or insane. Note the "and/or".
