[edit]

Poking around on Google Books, there are plenty more sources about how the term has been used and the thinking people have done in relation to it, but I'm not enough of an expert in the field that I can quickly tell which ones are the good ones. Drop me a line if you need a hand finding them. Thanks, William Pietri (talk) 05:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Matacornea?

[edit]

I can see no evidence that "matacornea" is a real term for this. The person who changed it was a one-time editor, so I presume it was just somebody messing around. If someone would like to add it back, please include a citation. -- William Pietri (talk) 16:49, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed that we merge this into Streetlight effect. It's clearly the same concept, and "streetlight effect" seems to be the more popular modern way to refer to this. -- William Pietri (talk) 16:55, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
