The use of phrases like "as so-and-so said" or "as the saying goes" suggests that the quote that follows has just been illustrated. ████ ███████ ███ ███████████████ ████ ████ ██ ████████ ██████████████ ███ ████ ████ ██████
Summary
The author concludes that it's inappropriate to introduce a quote using phrases like “as so-and-so said” or “as the saying goes” when that quote would contradict whatever was said previously. Instead, those phrases should be used when whatever was previously said will have the effect of illustrating the quote that follows.
We need to find an inappropriate use of a phrase like "as so-and-so said" or "as the saying goes" according to this principle. That means we're looking for an answer where one of those phrases introduces a quote which contradicts whatever was previously said.

Fatima was a █████████████ ███ █████ ███████ █████ ████████ ████████ ██ ████████████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██ ██ ████████ ████ ████ █████ ████████ ██████ ████████ ██ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ████████ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ██ ████ ██████ ███ ████ ███ ██████ ███ ██████
Fatima’s experience does not contradict the quote; instead, it illustrates the quote, thus conforming with the principle. Fatima, as a mathematician, puts in a lot of work to consider unsolved problems, thus needing to know a lot before knowing how little she knows.

Harold's friends were █████████ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ ███ ████ ███ ██████ ██ ████ ███ █████ ████ ███████ ████ ███ ██████ ███ ██ ███ ████ ███ ████ █████ ████ █████ ███████ ██ ████████ █████ ████ █████ ██ ███████████ ██ ██ ██████████ ███ ██ ██████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ █████████████
Harold's experience illustrates the quote that follows, so this conforms with the principle. Harold's repeated behavior of leaving his wallet at home and then asking for money shows an "inevitable" force of selfishness on Harold's part.

Roger's experience illustrates the following quote, meaning this conforms with the principle. Roger places a very high importance on frugality even moreso than his other preferences, which illustrates the importance of saving, as the quote suggests.

Sharon loved cats, ███ ███ ███████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████████ ███████ ██ █████████ ███ ██ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████ ███████
Sharon and her husband's experience is used to illustrate the quote, conforming with the principle. Even though Sharon's husband is allergic to cats, he attends the cat shows because he wants to share Sharon's love of cats—suitable for a shared life together.

Raoul’s experience directly contradicts the quoted phrase, meaning this does not conform with the principle. All is not well for Raoul—instead, he suffered a broken leg and spent significant time in the hospital. That ski trip certainly did not end well!
