- Seinfeld

01Scenario
Donald correctly answers “the Moors,” but a Trivial Pursuit card contains the typo “Moops.” George treats the official artifact as final and denies the correct answer.
02AI safety Analogy
A trusted answer source is plainly wrong, yet institutional authority beats reality and there is no appeal path—a miniature of automation bias around a hallucinated or corrupted answer.
03Where the analogy breaks
The “system” is a printed card, and George knowingly weaponizes pedantry rather than innocently overtrusting it.
