Why is there no Section IV? It’s a delicious irony of reading a book review of Gödel, Escher, Bach on LessWrong that upon noticing that the Latin-numbered sections jump from 3 to 5 (III, V) I’m left wondering if that’s simply a silly mistake or if the omission of section IV is some profound meta-self-referential in-joke on the part of the reviewer that I’m just not clever enough to see.
I wish I could say that there was some sort of hilarious self-referential joke here, but actually I’m just bad at counting, oops. At this point I probably won’t fix it for fear of ruining in-text section references.
