It's like a lot of People think 'Elementary my dear Watson' is an actual Sherlock Holmes quote, when it's not.
It's a misinformation that has taken root in popular culture, combining two iconic things Sherlock does indeed say in the books into one superquote if you will.
People tend to remember the best and the worst parts the most and very seldomly exact detail. They then stylize the moments after the fact into even more cohesive and iconic moments and perpetrate those. It's something evreyone does to an extend.
As someone who is very bad with retaining exact quotes but very good at retaining context, I often slightly misquote things. The meaning will still be the same, but the quote will be a misquote.
