Self-fulfilling prophecy?
- happytoexplain 2y agoI mean attempting to demonstrate something broken, only for it to work properly.
- copypasterepeat 2y agoWouldn't this term still apply? If the goal of your demonstration is to show failure, and then that succeeds, that makes your demonstration a failure.
- gmueckl 2y agoThat term definitely applies to any demo that behaves differently than previously observed - subtly implying that the demo setting has something to do with it.
- happytoexplain 2y agoI don't how it's used in German, but based on other comments, it does sound like it can be used either way!
- knoke 2y agoAs already said: Vorführeffekt is neutral and could mean both: success and failure. But the opposite of „a performance with an opposite than expected outcome“ is something that comes out exactly as it’s supposed to be without intervention, right? ;)
