I saw yet another person making this silly declaration:

Dear friend and aspiring author: The correct version of this is, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” In other words, the test, or proof, of how good or effective something–like pudding–actually is, is when the something is put to its intended use. When you eat the pudding, you learn whether it is a good pudding. It may have looked nice and smelled great, but unless it tastes great, it is not a good pudding. </pedantic lecture>
