Which Celebrity has the most punch-able face and why is it Ryan Reynolds?
Gentle Reader,
In my estimation, there is nothing in this world like a question with an explicit premise. Most (or perhaps all) questions have one or more implicit premises, and it can be fun to make at least one of them explicit.
I was having a chat with a friend on the phone who mentioned seeing Air Supply, and that during their performance they claimed to have done more than 5300 previous performances. I did some back of the envelope math and realized that this came out similar to playing one concert every day for 15 years. That struck me as a lot so I got to wondering: Was this the most? Who played more? Perhaps the Dead? I recall they toured a lot from the 60s until Garcia's death. So I started with a quick search and got told something that was obviously nonsense, some claim that the Dead had performed the most shows and that it was around 2200.
To my chagrin, I decided to "prompt engineer" and I produced the question "Who played the most shows and why was it Air Supply?" and I was confronted with this as an answer:
I'll invite you, gentle reader, to give some thought about where such and answer might come up short. I think there are some obvious flaws but if one digs a bit deeper they might be drawn to wonder whether this facebook thread is a source for any of the claims and if there is more documentation of those claims than "some dude in Omaha said so".
