Good point. Suppose the procedure ought to be something like:
Nominull skipped step 2, which in this case might be, "There's a difference between something being obscure to you and it being obscure in a general sense. I don't think "tl;dr" can be considered generally obscure given that the explanation of what it means is the top google hit."
Good point - I think it should have defused much of the disagreement. You get the definition right on the results page!
ETA: I have no idea whether I meant to say "defused" or "diffused" there. Hmm...
