Last night I dreamt I was at a protest. As I stood on the sidewalk I watched a crowd of people carrying signs, marching down the street chanting "2 or 5" then clapping 3 times. In the dream I almost figured out what the chant meant but I woke up before the thought formed fully.

Pro tip: protest chants should be self explanatory

@hyc reminds me of this, some kind of general principle of communication: what really matters is how your message gets interpreted on the receiver side.

A message you are sending may be super clever according to you, the sender, but if the intended receiver does not understand what it means, then your attempt at communication has failed.
