polysics

Is it that day of the week again?

I would like to also point out the title of the post is misleading, as the findings are exactly the opposite.

Citing this is such a knackered HN cliché it should mean an instant hell-banning.

Complaining about a "knackered HN cliché" is itself a knackered HN cliché. Recurse.

Shouldn't submitting things that fit Betteridge's Law should get you banned instead? Why ban the symptoms?

My comment was tongue in cheek, but there is no way one would realise that just by reading it. I don't really think people should be hell-banned for it, being down-voted into oblivion would suffice :)
