How to get the best answers to questions.

[Sam Vimes]

Today I learnt about Cunningham's Law. How true.

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Never heard of that. It might mislead others so I would avoid it.

Was Cunningham dyslexic?

I’ve never heard of Cunningham‘s law but I can see why it is likely to be true.
if someone puts a question on here and I was to post a completely wrong answer the more incorrect my answer was the more people would jump on board to slate the wrong answer and and criticise the person who gave the wrong answer, but not necessarily would they post the correct answer, it’s a bit like when you look for reviews on a campsite, a caravan, or pretty much anything there will always be loads more poor reviews than there will be good reviews, people seem to enjoy giving bad news but not so quick to give good, I suppose it’s like watching news programs on TV, 99.9%of the content will be bad news
you get a one line snippet of something to make the viewers think the world is wonderful.
