Pauli's quote was used as the title of a book - Not Even Wrong - by Peter Woit on String Theory. Woit's thesis is that String Theory and subsequent developments, including superstrings and M-theory, are wonderfully impressive mathematical constructs. But in spite of decades of work by thousands of physicists worldwide, the theory has yet to deliver anything of practical value, or provide predictions that could be tested.
Woit suggests that all of this very expensive work, by generations of physicists, may turn out to have been a waste. If so, it will be a scientific catastrophe, the Physicist's equivalent of Chernobyl or the BP oil spill.

Yes, clearly I am only aware of the book I own but have not yet read. I was unaware that the title of the book came from your quotation. I will with-hold my thoughts on string theory and other physical principles in the interest of brevity, but I will offer my thanks for such a broadly applicable quote.
