Generalist Academy: “There’s an old story about an explorer arriving in a new territory. He points to a mountain (or some other geographic feature) and asks a local what it’s called. The local gives him a name, say ‘X,’ and from then on the explorer calls it Mount X. Except the local was just telling him the word ‘mountain’ in the local language. Translated, the name is now ‘Mount Mountain’. This is a polyglot tautology.”
