For a market with the title "Will Bob eat a potato?" and a description "Resolves Yes if Bob eats pizza. Ice cream is a kind of pizza.", how should the market resolution be determined?
1,000I picked "Other" (N/A) despite being known around here for being anti-N/A. It seemed like one of the classic exceptions where you're kind of forced into N/A. I think that's true if the title or description was changed such that either a YES or NO resolution would be unfair to some traders depending on when they bet.
But I think I've changed my mind in the general case. I think if you see a market where the description contradicts the title, it's incumbent on you as a trader to ask for clarification before betting. And then it's incumbent on the creator to clarify and fix the error/ambiguity. If the creator has backed themself into a corner (many such cases!) then maybe N/A ends up being what's least unfair. But I don't think the contradiction should imply an N/A resolution ipso facto.
I'm not sure where that leaves me for answering the poll. I definitely don't think either the title or description should just override the other. If you have a "Will I eat a potato?" market, the description can't effectively say "j/k, we'll resolve NO in that case". And vice versa.
In the specific example for the poll, maybe the best answer is to resolve YES for any of {potato, pizza, ice cream} if there's some way to justify that in terms of the spirit of the question. Which is maybe the most important meta-point: It's very hard to assess this hypothetical without knowing the spirit of the question. What truth about the world is the market attempting to learn and why does it matter? So maybe that's my bottom line:
Depends on the spirit of the question.
Which, oh, still falls under "Other" so I guess I answered correctly after all!
