Reception

NHL referee Red Story, an interview subject on Question Mark, later complained that his statements were omitted from the broadcast to such an extent as to provide a distorted impression of his employers.[2]

gollark: If you did have a top-down-designed body/brain system, you could have useful features like an immune system which actually provides debug information instead of just mysteriously having you get a fever.
gollark: This reminds me of a paper I vaguely looked at a while ago about abusing human visual processing to do logic gates.
gollark: The decades starting then, I mean.
gollark: What -punks are 2010/2020 then?
gollark: It's a bunch of axioms. You can show that based on the 5 Euclidean geometry base axioms, you can derive a bunch of other behavior.
