"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAny more votes for sending this back to TLP?

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanDuring unwicking I found Backup Bluff. So do we have this as a trope already?

That page seems to have two strong ideas that are similar.
- Lie to your enemy's face, telling them that you have additional allies.
- Create the illusion of a larger force, using physical trickery.
I could support a split of Backup Bluff.
Should we close this thread then?
Contains 20% less fat than the leading value brand!Since it's already on TLP, I can't think of anything left to do here.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.All right then; time to close.

This seems like a legit trope but it only accrued four examples over the years. I vote sending it back to TLP, looking for a better trope name to boot.
