All I've come up with is a half-formed joke about how human females really are intrinsically attractive after all.
While an appealing hypothesis, if that were the case I would expect roughly the same percentage for the general public. The wiki of a million lies suggests the actual rate for the general public is in the low single digits.
As clever as this phrase is, it is tragically ambiguous. I'm guessing 65% chance Wikipedia, 30% RationalWiki, 3% our local wiki, 2% other. How did I do?
None of the other wikis you list are big enough to have more than maybe 75,000 lies.
Are you counting talk pages? I'd expect those to have a higher density of lies than the main namespace.
Sure, but I'd expect that smaller wikis have exponentially less talk, because there's fewer people to do the talking.
I meant Wikipedia. I've actually never heard the phrase applied to any other wiki. It's certainly not original to me.
Thanks!
