Let me add one that's not on the list:
"The best way to get a correct answer on the internet is to post an obviously wrong answer and wait for someone to correct you."

- agumonkey 5y agoI wonder if it's not in politics / war books too. Tap into others pride and principles to ensure their motivation for your goals. Internet "truth" is a great example, but I've seen this at work too, if you spin your question in a way to tickle others need for validation or superiority, all of a sudden you have a very strong engagement.. while on average people will refuse to help you. I don't like manipulating people, but society can be a never-ending source of absurdly high friction that any trick to avoid wasted energy is a strong survival skill to me.

- cosentiyes 5y agothat's the joke
- 2143 5y agoAh! Rookie mistake!
- Frotag 5y agoI've always thought this holds because it's easier to correct bits of a wrong answer than write a coreect one from scratch.
- HellsMaddy 5y agoNice one! I would also like to add one - Cunningham's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham's_Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham's_L...
