Default Re: Yet another Floor Decision question (the magic muck)

Slight tangent, this reminds me of one of the most misunderstood baseball rules. The schoolyard saying is "tie goes to the runner", but the actual rule is written that to be called safe the runner must "beat the throw". So in reality, in the event of an actual tie the runner didn't beat the throw and is therefore out. Yet all across the country millions of little kids grow up thinking the "tie goes to the runner".

If everyone thinks the muck is magic, does it become magic?

(I wish it weren't; it doesn't make sense.)
