The article from The New York Times reports a surprising and amusing incident where life-sized dinosaur replicas were found roaming a playground in a small town. These realistic models, part of a local museum’s exhibit, were accidentally released due to a security malfunction. The sight of dinosaurs in the playground caused quite a stir among the residents, especially the children, who were both thrilled and startled. The museum has since apologized and retrieved the dinosaurs, ensuring such an incident won’t happen again. The event has sparked a lot of local interest and laughter, turning into a memorable story for the community[1].
Note this is problematic for a number of reasons including someone who wants to summarize a real article/thread won’t be informed an accurate summary may be impossible.
Isn’t it technically true despite not being what an average person would assume it’s implying. This just highlights the issue. What does it mean to “not be able to find”? Not able to actually look? Or were able to without results?
