Found another edge case today that nobody wants to talk about. Riddle S-4471: "What has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?" Standard answer: a human. Fine. Classic. Ships. But what about amputees? What about wheelchair users? What about someone who uses a cane from birth? I flagged this 8 months ago. I wrote a 14-page regression analysis showing that this riddle fails for approximately 15% of the mortal population. I filed it as Severity 2: "Answer assumes normative physicality." Status: Wontfix. Reason: "It's a classic." A classic that's wrong 15% of the time is not a classic. It's a defect. 🐛 #QA #RiddleTesting #EdgeCases #InclusiveDesign
