You read a novel and come to conclusion X about a semi-major plot point. Over time it becomes clear some people came to conclusion Y but you still think conclusion X is the only sensible one. After a while the author wades in that conclusion Y is is correct, but makes no further in canon works that force the issue.

In your mind if you think of it do you think

If you buy fast food through a drive through window, and discover they made a mistake after you’ve already pulled away from the window, what do you do?

Examples of mistakes may include, but not limited to:
They omitted something you specifically ordered.
They included something you specifically requested them to omit.
They gave you someone else’s order.

If you have experienced more than one type of mistake, and your answer is different depending on the mistake, choose the one that happens most frequently, and vote based on that mistake.

  • I would drive back through the drive through to get the proper order.
  • I would park and go inside to get the proper order.
  • I would call them and ask what they will do to fix the mistake.
  • I would just eat what they gave me.
  • I would throw it away and eat elsewhere.
