Phys. Rev. B is growing faster than the speed of light. But that does not contradict special relativity because no information was conveyed

I think this exchange HAS to rate at least an honorable mention. This has GOT to be the best set-up @Nugatory has seen in years:

Davenn: Well if you want to be that picky, all changes in the EM field ALSO propagate at the speed of light
phinds: As do comments by all us nitpickers here on PF
Nugatory: Those actually move at speeds faster than light, but there is no violation of relativity because they transfer no information.

Old joke. They asked this actress in SNL, if she was as stupid as she looked on TV.
Her reply; going along, self-mocking
" I don't know, I've never watched myself on TV"

There's a puzzle nearly just like this in the video game "Life is Strange." Three digits in the number pad are worn, showing more use than the other digits. This narrows down the 3-digit code possibilities from 1000 to 6. You can then narrow that down further with trial and error, easily enough.

But I like devilled eggs! Does that make me a bad person?
Apparently so. Before I saw that I probably would have been able to have some sympathy for you... o0)
