I wrote a typo that changes the intent of the comment, yet people still upvote. Does that mean they didn't read the article, don't care, blind to it? What's the likelihood someone will flag it? And if so will it be because someone was inspired to win here?

@AmmonHaggerty The description only said it has to be flagged, not that it needs to be in the comments. Pretty sure this should hve resolved YES
@Shump Hmm. Seems words really matter when there’s skin in the game. I did say “flag my typo in then NYT article”, but I can also see how that’s read both ways. Not sure what to do here. How are these things resolved? Do I get reprimanded for not providing clear enough instructions? Do we mark it unresolved? Do I mark it yes because it’s the way it was interpreted? Would appreciate some guidance.
@AmmonHaggerty Market resolution is totally up to you. If traders feel you resolved the market against the resolution criteria you'll get some bad reviews or good ones if they agree with how you resolved it. If you want to unresolve you can ask any mod or admin to unresolve it.
@AmmonHaggerty There's basically two schools for judging markets on Manifold. Resolving by the letter and resolving by the spirit. The reason I'm a bit upset is that this doesn't look like either. You resolved NO on a technicality, but not even one that was written into the criteria
@Griffin But perhaps it wasn’t the company name that was wrong. The comment doesn’t make as much sense of the company name is Manifold. So how does this speak to the power of incentive to influence meaning in unintended ways?
