Topic: Title Misleads Forum [Misleading Title]

boof started this discussion 1 year ago #118,156

Sometimes, a title will mislead a forum. I witnessed this on Reddit, and the title was labelled [Misleading Title]. I did not bother to read the thread to verify that I was mislead by the title.

How do you know that the title wasn't leading you to believe you were being misled when actually you weren't? Without checking you are in a state of both having been misled and not. That's Schrodinger's Title that is.

That looks like a very misleading title. Ouroboroi are not paradoxical at all.

perhaps we are meant to consider a thought experiment of what would happen if specific conditions are desribed

or the next edition should feature [Misleading Title] appended to the title

What specific conditions did you have in mind?

> or the next edition should feature [Misleading Title] appended to the title
That would be giving the game away. Who would buy it?

I'll start -- working assumption #1
when you eat something, you can't see it anymore

Assumptions #2 & #3
When you eat something, you must:
- be alive.
- possess working bodily apparatus and functions that enable one to swallow and digest food.
