  Why? What would go on it? From that dead comment quoting a chat bot that clearly did not understand the question at all, I think maybe we can extract a single bullet point: * “Edge cases” live only at the edges; they never creep into the middle. But that's not much to build a post with.

  Here's a falsehood list about falsehood lists: 1. I'll never need to learn a falsehood list, so I can skip it. 2. A falsehood list is complete at the time of writing. 3. OK, but it will surely get updated with new falsehoods and clarifications. 4. Skimming the falsehood list is all I need to do to learn it. 5. OK, but surely I'll remember to recheck the falsehood list once I actually need to, right? 6. If a falsehood doesn't immediately make sense to me, there must be something wrong with it, despite the author having domain expertise that I don't. Literally had to point out just last night how UTC is not sufficient in all scenarios. I swear it happens every 6 mos on Reddit.

  Falsehoods programmers believe about other programmers' beliefs.
