Well, we never really got to come to a conclusion on that.  And the
conclusion we came to was pathetically wrong, so it's a poor example
across the board.

Notability isn't temporary, whether it's some unfortunate web meme or a
large-scale act of civil disobedience.  Yes, probably, if we had an
article on the situation and on the number, it would decrease it better
than the typical overreaction we tend to have.
