It's amazing how all the comments so far have entirely missed that it's the top answer that was really submitted, not the question.

It's amazing how all the comments so far have entirely missed that it's the top answer that was really submitted, not the question.
- harkenthus 14y agoI think it may be a problem with the link itself. In the past I've seen SO links that auto scroll to the answer of interest, however this one just loaded to the top of the page.
- Bill_Dimm 14y agoSubmitter should have used the "share" link that appears at the bottom of the answer, although that scrolls the question off the top of the page, which may also cause confusion.
- niggler 14y ago"The Internet is full of chimpanzees." I am reminded of Egor Homakov and his various exploits, especially in the Rails community. Someone points out a problem and the community collectively decided to ignore him.
- iaw 14y agoI loved the analogy, it's sad that more people didn't read it.

- jl6 14y agoI found one of the comments interesting: that the monkey/ladder experiment could be a myth.
- dsego 14y agoIt's probably just a thought experiment, a nice allegory. http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/6828/was-the-experiment-with-five-monkeys-a-ladder-a-banana-and-a-water-spray-condu http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/6828/was-the-exp...
- maxerickson 14y agoIt's fun to try to apply it recursively. That is, if I take a lesson from a story about an experiment that never happened, I'm acting like the hapless chimpanzees that merely learn to fear the ladder. So I must choose to not model other people as cartoon chimpanzees.
- gweinberg 14y agoNot "could be". It's a total fantasy. Real world chimps wouldn't even start beating up other chimps for touching the ladder before you start replacing chimps.
- Sprint 14y agoEither the submitted URL was changed or you are wrong. The URL goes to the page, not some anchor.
