De gustibus non est disputandum --- is not attrib. to anyone?

Most of these famous Latin maxims are not (attrib. to anyone) ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_gustibus_non_est_disputandum#:~:text=De%20gustibus%20non%20est%20disputandum%2C%20or%20de%20gustibus%20non%20disputandum,should%20not%20be%20disputed%22).

The phrase is misquoted in Act I of Anton Chekhov's play The Seagull. The character Shamrayev conflates it with the phrase de mortuis nil nisi bonum (in the alternative form: de mortuis, aut bene aut nihil: "of the dead, either [speak] good or [say] nothing"), resulting in "de gustibus aut bene, aut nihil", "Let nothing be said of taste but what is good."[4]

--------------- funny !
