Also found this cool YT video about the history of clip art: m.youtube.com/watch?v=666S...

Actually, we recently spooked away some ghosts with warnings and other scary things (with @semihaktepe.bsky.social)

Gibt es eigentlich Forschung dazu, warum Leute so was machen... ? 😬 Es ist ja nicht mal so, dass man hier ein sehr komplexes Subjekt hätte oder so.

It's always super interesting how different people react to cases like this! I do see your point, but I'm still somewhat more inclined to assume a repeated error rather than intentional reversal.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I would have assumed an error, but the fact that it appears twice makes it look systematic. It's an interesting case IMO because both instances could, in principle, also be unintended argument swaps.

I guess my intuition about an average is based on the idea that "poor" and "rich" should share a common scale, and a natural way of thinking about the statement would be to take the scale's midpoint as a point of reference, even if we're not doing arithmetic.

Maybe, though I'm not sure. Turns out that this part is actually not very important to the overall plot, which revolves around the fact that the bear is a cursed prince. But the daughter does marry the bear and the father ends up living in a castle.
