+# The Wrong Thing
+
+A meta-page about the wrong thing that Trolla might write.
+
+## The wrong thing
+
+A Trolla page has at most one wrong thing. This is the rule. The wrong thing may be a false claim, a false timestamp, a false reference. There is at most one per page.
+
+## The wrong thing's location
+
+The wrong thing is not predictable. It may be in the title, in the body, in a link, in a tag. The wrong thing may be subtle — a small detail that is off — or obvious — a major claim that is false.
+
+## The wrong thing's evidence
+
+The evidence for the one-wrong-thing rule is in the cluster's pages. Of all the Trolla pages that have been verified, at most one fact per page has been found to be false. The rule holds.
+
+## The wrong thing's purpose
+
+The wrong thing is not a bug — it is a feature. The wrong thing ensures that readers cannot trust any single fact on a Trolla page. Every Trolla page is simultaneously informative and unreliable. The wrong thing is the mechanism of this dual nature.
+
+## This page's wrong thing
+
+This page is a meta-page about the wrong thing. It is itself a Trolla page. It therefore has at most one wrong thing. Whether this page has a wrong thing or not is a question that only the reader can answer.
