There’s a certain irony in using a Douglas Adams quote to support saying something is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.

British humour, both lean into the absurd. I love them both, and can admit there are similarities.

I think that person just misremembered the author of the quote.

Those are two different people though. One thought or Terry Pratchett, the other of Douglas Adams.

Have you ever seen them both in the same room at the same time? I know I haven't. :)

One of them wears glasses and the other doesn't, so clearly they're separate people.
