On: A linguistic glitch tricks us into thinking bank deposits are deposited in banks

[pantaloony]

I can’t tell whether this is debunking a myth I didn’t believe to begin with, or if I do believe the myth but am too dumb to recognize that it’s what this article is about. This is bizarrely opaque for so many words about a fairly small (I think?) scope of knowledge.

[distantaidenn → pantaloony]

I’m also not quite sure what the point of this was. It’s seems a long winded way to say that the money you deposit is not physically there regarding absolute ownership.

That or I too am completely missing the point.
