- red_trumpet 3y agoYep, this headline is similarly problematic: > Gaze Stabilization in a Moving World
- swayvil 3y agoSo less consistent philosophy, more steadycam
- AlecSchueler 3y agoI took it to be a humorous play of words but still with the actual meaning unobscured. It's not always problematic to have a bit of fun, or is there something more harmful that I'm missing?
- nimish 3y agoNo, it's a nice pun and nothing more. People read too much into wordplay, perhaps we need retinal cells that stabilize that
- Borrible 3y agoTo bring the metaphor back to its original reserve, since the world is highly dynamic, what stabilizes peoples view of it?

- belugacat 3y agoIt might well be intentional. Scientists like those weird double entendre titles; it's especially noticeable in paper titles in academia, which often follows the format ("project name: punny phrase vaguely explaining the project"). It's frustrating because as a grad student I was explicitly taught to avoid using local slang, informal sayings and expressions, humor, etc. in my academic writing to make it as understandable and unambiguous as possible.
