Dead right.

Posted on | December 5, 2011 | No Comments

I snapped this picture at a cross walk in Manhattan near Central Park over the weekend. What does it say? Stop or walk? You could walk and not, technically, be jaywalking.  You stand a good chance of getting smacked by a car though if you do. You’d be technically right. And maybe even dead right.

Misleading indeed, but at least in this case it is easy to tell it is misleading. It is not usually so evident when your indicator is a measured quantity.
