Eliza never passed a turing test. Nobody tried to test Eliza because they knew what the result would be

I'm responding to the quote in TFA:

> One of the first computer programs that successfully passed the Turing test was Eliza.

I haven't studied the history of it.

Mentioned in arstechnica to my surprise, but do note the paper wasn't peer reviewed and they mention flaws in the methodology.

I cannot believe anyone passingly familiar with ELIZA would be fooled by it.
