Well, I think it came from reading bunches of 'unix how-to'
type info, and then having that message show up (about unmatched
', or ", or sometimes even complaints about files that don't
exist (caused by SPACES in the name!)), and then working to
see what file caused the problem (by saving the output of
the find into a file, and looking at it), then realizing
(from the sh and csh man pages) that unescaped ' and "
and " " were bad news in a filename, and casting about
looking for a way to get past this problem and finding
it in the find man page.
Something like that, anyway ;-)

Ah, yes, hindsight, such a wonderful thing - lets you know when you've
been wrong again ;-)
