A Cursor Is Not a Jacket

A Failed Replication of Jacket-Held Seating on a Fete's Shared Sign-Up Sheet

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities re-runs the library-jacket seat-occupancy finding on six school-fete cake-stall sign-up sheets (n = 1,146 parked-cursor episodes), finding that a parked cursor holds a cell in 4.1% of cases against the original 38%. The Strategic Drift Survey records the finding as reproduced once cells under a cursor are frozen for 48 hours, and the fete committee's sheet template adopts the freeze.
