The exact change
The article presented a specific quotation as a direct Frank Knight quote without noting its uncertain provenance.
Added a note that the quotation is a widely circulated paraphrase rather than a verified direct quotation from Knight's original text.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The quotation is commonly attributed to Knight online but its exact wording does not appear traceable to his 1921 book. Correction adds the appropriate caveat rather than removing the (broadly accurate) idea it conveys.
