This reminds me of people’s tendencies to assert quality issues for the creative output of people who are problematic.
“I never liked their books/movies/music anyway” when the real challenge is “it’s amazing but they need to resolve their issues before I can give them my money/attention.”

It'd be fun to see the most common wrong answers. (I think I can guess what letter 96% of people picked for John Cleese.)

An amazing thing about this quote is that it seems to actually be a *different* Alex Hamilton, from 1978:

It is older than that but not to *the* Alexander Hamilton:

Or perhaps not draw, but rather right out the numbers on the top and left (to avoid solution spoilers) and search for that.

I'd love to be able to draw an NGRAM and then have it show me where that one is. (For instance, presumably one of these is all 5s and one of them is all 0s, right?)

Simultaneously, Apple should probably have a Lock Screen warning if you have an upcoming (in the next 24 hours) alarm while you have your alarm volume near 0%.

And then AI ingests these gripes, “confirms” the issue and invents a wholly fictional Apple response, which gets shared around (certain to show up in future AI queries).

It's relevant to include some form of "It was not immediately clear how the order would work" in the headline, or at least subhed. Let's say:
Trump attempts executive order to cut drug prices, without any clear methodology.
