The heisenblag principle

 

An update on the recent xkcd.com cartoon, which I blogged about earlier today. As FND reminded me, and as reported here and earlier here, its very existence changed the context of the numbers it represented. Given it was Randall Munroe, I guess we should call that the Heisenblag Principle.

    I second this motion!
    However, I might have to add that the term “the heisenblogging” has been used before

    I failed the pre-submit check; “the heisenblogging” doesn’t make much sense, obviously…
