#132This is a perfect (if maybe unintentional) example of how to get help from otherwise disinterested technical folk: Make an obviously technically-incorrect claim as fact, and watch as an entire army comes out of the woodwork giving you technical evaluations :)
I’m aware of this phenomenon, but have never tested it (confidently posting something incorrect to get responses with the real answer). Has anyone here actually tried this? How did it work?

Cunningham's Law [1]: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer". [1]: https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cunningham%27s_Law

> Cunningham himself denies ownership of the law, calling it a "misquote that disproves itself by propagating through the internet."
