:I have tried to make some explanation of the title text. Maybe someone can improve with a better explanation? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:00, 22 February 2016 (UTC) | :I have tried to make some explanation of the title text.

− | Regarding the Incomplete reasoning: "There may be another joke here. What about the branches in the title text. Is there some well known reference to such a tree. Sound like something with parallel universes and infinite possibilities?"... I must disagree, there's no other joke here. The word "branch" here isn't referring to any tree, but rather the ongoing logical possibilities of a conversation. If you take a video game where you can chose what you say in a conversation (or the choose-your-own-comic xkcd that came out a while ago), and map out all the options, it would look like a "tree", selecting THIS option leads to a new set of options, each of which will lead to ITS own set of options. In the aforementioned comic, selecting "Let me refresh" in the first panel leads to a different set of options for the second panel than if you had selected something else for the first panel. You are now following the "Let me refresh" branch of the conversation. That's all "branch" means in the title, it's referring to the conversation which would result from this, which would "branch off" of such a declaration. - NiceGuy1[[Special:Contributions/198.41.235.215|198.41.235.215]] 06:22, 20 February 2016 | + | Regarding the Incomplete reasoning: "There may be another joke here.

:I completely disagree. Fine that you have made changes, but no need to remove the list. This is standard for explain xkcd that you should be able to find explanation for all items in the comic here. If it is specific like here there will either be a table or a section. If you are not interested in details on the hosts observations you just skip the section or the trivia. I have re-included the section. It is important for the explanation to explain why his observations is accurate/correct if not delivers in a scientifically sound language. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:06, 25 May 2016 (UTC) | :I completely disagree.
