Apparently this just got flagged off the front page, which I think is unfortunate. If anything, the fact that the interpretation is wrong makes the discussion all the more interesting, and any discussion about possible complex semasiographic systems, whether real or imaginary, is interesting. The fact that you disagree with something is not a valid reason for flagging genuinely interesting content.
- eindiran 8y agoI flagged the article because it is information that is (a) totally untrue and (b) has been spread virally, even after it was debunked/retracted. Not everyone who clicked the article read all the way to the bottom and saw the comments there or clicked through to the comments here; we've now infected more people with incorrect information, allowing this to spread further. This information has been debunked since before the internet existed in any modern sense, so posting the information enirely without errata has no excuse. If this post had included errata that explained that the interpretation it discusses is likely incorrect, then I would not have flagged it.
