Gregory's ServerYou cherry-picked this example, not me. You were free to pick any less trivial sounding example if you had one.
You claim that I'm missing context, but I think that you are missing an important context – that of the extensive and outlandish claims that were repeatedly made about the potential effects of Y2K. None of the examples of disasters averted are in any way proportional to those predictions.
@20centuryliterarymystery
We'll have to agree to disagree, then - on where the cherry-picking is happening here, whether or not the example I picked was trivial, and the sources / frequency / nature / timing of outlandish claims (sensationalized news stories, etc.) vs legitimate calls to action that produced needed fixes.
