I always like to cite Benford’s law for this one.

Yup! I’ve taught 4 kids with this method. A year or 2 on the balance bike, 2-ish weeks with training wheels and then take the training wheels off and they get it within 5-10 minutes. Took a bunch of frustration with the first kid to arrive at this method but I’ve done it with the next 3 and it works flawlessly.

Yeah when the CORN-FREAKING-CRETE skyscraper crowd funding video comes out we can all be more skeptical than we were for SOLAR-FREAKING-ROADWAYS.

Care to expand on this thought? Curious what you have in mind!

Another example that happens surprisingly often in healthcare. A registration clerk will incorrectly enter a personal health number (PHN) into the system. Then the actuall holder of that PHN shows up. If this were the PK then the system just wouldn’t handle this case and the reg clerk would have a huge mess to sort out on the spot. A surrogate key on the Person table allows this registration to be made where 2 people have the same PHN in the system. Then cleanup can be handled after the fact to track down the first person, determine their correct PHN and update the record.

It’s a nice closed loop now so it’s inevitable that ai generated content will win google search. One can pump out content, see how it scores, and iterate until they have an ai trained to top the google search results. It’s already so frustrating looking for real info. Soon it will be impossible.
