You're doing this wrong. You're supposed to imply that I'm the actual noob here, and then demand that I egress from your meticulously manicured landscape.
No, it's a joke that isn't meant for stupid people.
You see, language is ambiguous; you're expected to be smart enough to realize when someone is exploiting that ambiguity with humorous intent, to evoke mirth in their audience.
If language wasn't ambiguous, whole swaths of comedy would be eliminated and we'd be stuck with nothing but pedants trying to explain to us how we misinterpreted a headline.
I think you're right; they did the gag multiple times, with variations. But it was fun to pretend to be just as incensed at your description of WEC/RR, as you were about the apostrophe.
I'm sorry, but you are very much mistaken. It was Wile E. Coyote who drew the tunnel; Roadrunner ran through it. W.E.C. then tried to pursue, and smacked into the wall.
And then got run over by a truck coming through his tunnel.
... Also, I was apparently browsing at score=2 when I first replied, and didn't realize that the question "how was it also not equally true of gold itself?" was actually a side-topic about whether or not fiat currencies are worthwhile, and not about TFA.
Correct. But, we're talking about the proposal-- permitting 'approximate mining'-- not how things presently are. But, upon re-reading my original comment, I didn't do the best job of explaining it. (And the mods apparently agree.)
