I introduced that comment in 2001, in Autoconf commit 4c359a43491c37203e08f2350cff1043a87ca18b. I probably met Lee when I gave a talk at Bell Labs in the 1970s. Although I don't remember him personally, given the overall attitudes of the people that I met I expect Lee would have appreciated rather than disapproved of the comment.
