I suppose that the title comes from https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/
I miss those old times when people were honestly wrong because lack of technical knowledge or understanding, instead of today's standards of fake news, misinformation and propaganda.
- rectang 5y agoI figured from the HN title this would be a link to that XKCD cartoon, which is probably my favorite XKCD ever. I feel let down that it's just an editorialized title linking to Cunningham's Law. The XKCD is not really related in my view — it's more about arguing pointlessly and wasting time, while Cunningham's Law leads to getting the right answer. I suppose the best way to get a discussion of Cunningham's Law on the internet isn't to ask a question, it's to dupe people with misleading clickbait.
