Peter,
While I typically don't use that as a reason when talking to the coach, I have used that story when answering specific players questions as to why I don't allow it.
A coach just the other day heard my recounting that story to his player after I sent him to the on-deck circle and he remembered the story as well. He couldn't remember the particulars either.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
