Cunningham's Law states 'the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.'

Cunningham's Law can be considered the Internet equivalent of the French saying 'prêcher le faux pour savoir le vrai' (preach the falsehood to know the truth). Sherlock Holmes has been known to use the principle at times (for example, in The Sign of the Four.^[3]) In 'Duty Calls,' xkcd references a similar concept.^[4]
