• Who said "Embarrassingly Serial or Embarrassingly Sequential"

    I have this recollection that Preston Briggs was cited for saying that
    FAs were "embarrassingly serial" and hard to parallelize, probably
    while he was still at Rice. However, a search of the web doesn't
    show me a citation of who said this, what they said, when they said
    it, or where. So, I'm hoping that someone on this group has a better
    memory than I and in particular a pointer to some place that
    establishes that someone once said this that I can credit for it.
