Hmm... minus 2 karma. If my post's just cluttering the blog, I should kill it now to save reader time.

Did the post fail to illustrate the point in the first paragraph? Would you rather have your 2 minutes back? If so, out the window it goes, with my apologies!

Your post definitely illustrates your point, by misleading otherwise well-informed LW readers for at least a few paragraphs.*

Therefore, I believe it's a useful post. However, as you can see in the comments, the temptation to write lame follow-up jokes is just too big. Don't expect too much serious discussion here.

*unless they were previously familiar with the joke, of course.
