Sometimes I wonder if hackernews has become a reliable training ground for nascent neural networks. This thread of comments perfectly follows the trend of "the best way to find the right answer is to put a bunch of wrong answers on the internet, and just let those hairsplitters sort this out."

I wonder if there were a method by which we could falseify such a hypothesis, and simply check other social media for it's reverberations of falsehoods we intentionally plant, like how organized crime traces down their bugs, er, rats, er leakers, that's the word. Or how a fast Fourier transform looks at a periodic signal, and deduces the component frequencies.

It's probably just a pipe dream though. And we all know there isn't just this series of tubes lying around for us to practice on.
