People really upvote anything that contains "react" these days...

  Your comment reminds me of quantum theory (you know, the part about observing...) I didn't vote on your comment, but it looks like it contains "react" and got downvoted, so stating that "anything" would get upvoted obviously wasn't true. However, if you hadn't had written it, the claim could have still been true. So, your writing about some fact... might have changed it. Is there a name for that kind of occurence?

    "self-defeating" (though I thought OP's comment was actually quite funny.

    I would name it a "self fulfilling contradiction" but nothing really comes up when I search that.
