    I wonder why they chose this description for Pareto inefficiency:

      There exists another page that will make everyone better off without making anyone worse off.
    
    Instead of the correct

      There exists another page that will make someone better off without making anyone worse off.
    
    Makes me wonder if all the descriptions I know less about are all subtly wrong on purpose.

      Nice catch and a nice reminder of the quality control fails with broken feedback mechanisms, a common state of affairs! (what, you think they "asked some leading economists."?)

    Dislike that textual noise filling the blanks since empty space is the best indicator of nothing. Also happens with various search engines slapping full-page animations visually tricking you into thinking you've got the fish

      I'd blame it on liquidity trap. Technology team decided to keep money instead of using it to fix the issue.
