"You (not Capablanca) said that a beginner shouldn't be allowed to play a game until they can checkmate B+N vs king" ++ I quoted Capablanca
"which is ridiculous" ++ to you. So if Capablanca urges to study that endgame and you are to lazy to study that endgame, then that is ridiculous to you
"which is why no one believed you when you said it was Capa's quote" ++ It is
"... except for beginners who don't know any better, which is the harm you cause."
++ I cause no harm. On the contrary I help them by echoing the wise words of Capablanca
"It's not hard to quote someone correctly" ++ I quoted him correctly. He must have said it during some lecture or interview as an attention getting statement and somebody must have recorded it. The contents is in essence the same as what he wrote in Chess Fundamentals, but in a more catchy phrase.
