In the field of particle physics, the concept is known as Hinchliffe's rule, after physicist Ian Hinchliffe, who stated that if a research paper's title is in the form of a yes–no question, the answer to that question will be "no". The adage led into a humorous attempt at a liar paradox in a 1988 paper, written by physicist Boris Kayser under the pseudonym "Boris Peon", which bore the title: "Is Hinchliffe's Rule True?", which was followed up in 2015 by a more rigorous article by computer scientist Stuart Shieber titled "Is This Article Consistent with Hinchliffe’s Rule?".

Brilliant.
