| - | ====== An Empty Table ====== | ||
| - | [{{ :wiki:empty_table.png?nolink&200|List of good reasons to believe that the Earth is flat}}] | ||
| - | |||
| - | **An Empty Table** is a table that was drawn, but not filled in. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The properties of an empty table include height, width, number of rows, columns and styling. However, empty tables generally have no titles, since a title would depend on the content. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Empty tables are extremely popular among people who need to make a table on a subject that they are ignorant about. An empty table is also great as a listing of ideas that you still did not think of. | ||

| - | ===== Empty Table Perception Asymmetry ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | It can be argued that empty tables can say more than intended. A person who has not yet filled out her table may seem smarter than she really is. Once the table is filled out, it would be clear she is a psychopath, or just a very bored diesel mechanic. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This perception asymmetry of a person before and after they fill out a table is called an //empty table perception asymmetry//. It is a strictly professional term, although the professions that use this term are so rare, and the terms that they use are so narrow, that their width hardly exceeds that of a hair. As a result, nobody really ever refers to the //empty table perception asymmetry//, and laymen are advised against showing off their knowledge of the concept. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Among intellectuals using the term even as an inside joke is considered extremely offensive, to the point of being considered as an obstruction of justice. | ||
| - | ===== Necessarily Empty Tables ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | A whole class of empty tables must logically stay empty. For example, a table of ideas you still haven't come up with is always necessarily empty. As soon as you put something in it - it then becomes an idea that //you did come up with//, therefore it has to be immediately removed from the table. | ||
