There are 35 questions on the application. A question can be one we consistently pay attention to without being in the top 10.

Also, we added at least 2 new questions we care about more since we added that one. (The field names of one or both of those may be those of previously existing questions, but we changed the question itself in a way that made the answer more important.)

Sure, but the query was about "pay most attention to".

I wonder if hacking the YC app process via PR stunt became too obvious an answer to the question over time.

If you interpret that as "pay most attention to (when questions are ranked by the amount of attention we've paid them over all rounds)", nobody gets killed and we can all go home.

Right, right. Or! We could stop redefining common words and agree that 'pay' is a verb in the present tense.

(Please don't kill me.)

I have suggested no redefinition. Technical accuracy is one of the aspects of my communication I pay most attention to.

I love how the details captivate people. I think it's because your 'admissions technology' is so advanced it is indistinguishable from magic.

And people love learning magic tricks.
