Experiment?

It's said to be a social experiment but without describing what was being tested. Was there a hypothesis? What made it a social experiment versus just a pastime? Vttale (talk) 04:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably, testing how long a community can keep something like this alive. I don't know if there were any explicit hypotheses or range estimates, however. – SJ + 10:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
