Huh. What are the odds that Slate ran a piece on this question the very same day you asked?

I find it happens pretty often that Explainer will answer a question I've been thinking about. They are inspired by the news, you know.

Heh, it's happened at least twice before: here and here.

(OK, not the same day, but within a couple of days.)
