alt Hacker News> mentions Barack Obama in a survey of billionaires (he isn't)
This is hilarious in the context of an article about falling literacy.
They surveyed billionaires about “elite achievers.” Obama wasn’t surveyed, because as you point out, he isn’t a billionaire. Billionaires were surveyed about him.
Don't be snarky when you might be wrong in no less than 2 ways:
1. When they say
They are not asking billionaires about other people ("elite achievers") they are asking the billionaires about themselves, and the writer is using another term to avoid repearing "billionaires".2. The actual report, which I had tracked down prior to reading the message above, is here, and you can use your own literacy skills to confirm that my point (1) above is the correct understanding:
