Replaceable Parts & Composites have same quote?

[Minmaster]

Howcome they both share the quote?

Composites
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
- Aristotle

Replaceable Parts
"The whole is more than the sum of its parts."
- Aristotle

Are these the same or different quotes?

 

[garric]

It's pointing out the contradiction of Aristotle and it's pretty much an attempt at humor by the game.

 

[Minmaster]

somehow i fail to see the contradiction. could you please elaborate? i mean they both mean the same thing right?

 

[PMabey]

i've never researched composites

 

[TomOC]

Mah, the programmers failed to spot it. It would be worth modding if someone could come up with a good quote to replace either of those.

For replaceable parts...

Thanks for sharing.

The french version has the same "la totalité est plus que la somme des parties", twice, but with a different tone

 

[SkippyT]

The Spanish version also says the same

"I found my missing piece" - Shel Silverstein

Well they have the beep...beep...beep for something I don't remember. I found my missing piece would be good - I like it

There's no contradiction.

As has been said, the double quote is probably just an oversight.

"The whole is more than the sum of its parts."

nevertheless its a beautiful quote: somewhat obvious and simple but also inspiring and undoubtly true.
