All of which is irrelvent to the point at hand.

You're confusing me with Benjamin Franklin.  There is no record

Quoting web articles about dead scientists doesn't make you a
scientist (dead or otherwise).

It didn't just "happen to" Lichtenberg either.  BTW, he is far better
known for his aphorisms than for his scientific studies.
