Oh, I see—the ref is to ‘Overcoming Bias.com’. For a moment I was confused because overpoweringfalsehood.com doesn’t work and I didn’t see any URL in your profile and I thought you were talking about you being burned and not all of us.
Someone’s snapped it up now: http://whois.domaintools.com/overpoweringfalsehood.com
And not by someone who intends to use it for good, it seems.
(Only now do I realize that ’overpoweringfalsehood.com′ isn’t that bad a domain name.)
That depends entirely on whether ‘overpowering’ is a verb or an adjective.
So… you’re saying it would be a perfect replacement domain for timecube.com?
Same applies to ‘overcoming’ of ‘overcoming bias’.
“Overcoming” doesn’t really work as an adjective.
My goodness, that bias is quite overcoming, wouldn’t you say?
No, nobody would ever say that.
Seems so, 79000 results for “is quite overpowering” compared to 1800 for “is quite overcoming”.
I realize. It was a joke to even see if it sounded like it fit.
I would.
