This whole discussion reminds me of the following passage from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass:
The name of the song is called ‘Haddocks' Eyes.’” > > “Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?" Alice said, trying to feel > interested. > > “No, you don't understand,” the Knight said, looking a little vexed. > “That's what the name is called. The name really is ‘The Aged Aged Man.’” > > “Then I ought to have said ‘That's what the song is called’?” Alice > corrected herself. > > “No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The song is called ‘Ways > And Means’: but that's only what it's called, you know!” > > “Well, what is the song, then?” said Alice, who was by this time > completely bewildered. > > “I was coming to that,” the Knight said. “The song really is ‘A-sitting On > A Gate’: and the tune's my own invention.” > On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 3:44 PM, Leon Karcher <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > While I was filling up this list > <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Brands> on the wiki with > information, someone on the talk page asked why I was adding brand=* to > every object.
