Nie wiadomo. Nawet czat gpt nie wypowiada się dokładnie.

"This would have occurred sometime in the 1940s or 1950s, before or
around the time of his work at Bell Labs, though the exact year
isn't clearly documented. 

So, while there's no precise date, the incident is generally
described as taking place during his adulthood, before his later
notoriety for his eugenics views"
