I've almost never heard anyone quote that, but I've heard numerous people arguing against that statement. So much that I'm wondering it it has mandela-affected people to think it's a more common misconception than it really is.

I do remember it being more common back when I was in high school, and also there was a movie which mentioned that which could have helped with that

I also havent heard it being said seriously for years though

Right, it was the plot for the movie Lucy, where the protagonist increased the brain capacity beyond 10% and upon reaching 100%, she turned into an USB drive. I remember that now.

Such a good movie with such bad writing...
