• A.E. Clark's 2016 essay attributes the hammer-and-nail proverb to Maslow, but its exact wording matches a 1982 Weizenbaum misquote, not Maslow's own 1966 text

• The 'law of the instrument' was named by philosopher Abraham Kaplan (1962/1964) and has print ancestors to 1868, predating the wording popularly credited to Maslow (1966)

• Barlow's 1961 chapter never invokes center-surround receptive fields (or any retinal circuitry) as the redundancy-removing mechanism — it works entirely in abstract information theory

• Barlow's 1961 chapter never names a 'factorial code' — the word 'factorial' occurs once, as ordinary arithmetic (4! = 24) in a toy two-input example

• The term 'deep learning' predates Hinton: introduced to machine learning by Rina Dechter (1986) and applied to neural networks by Aizenberg et al. (2000); Hinton popularized it c. 2006
