COMMENTS

Left examples have keyword "distractingworld" on the OEBP.


This is different than the kind of distraction mentioned at noisy, which means there are details that are irrelevant to the solution changing between examples.


To label a BP "distractingworld" is to judge that the type of examples are more specific than should have been necessary to communicate the same general solution idea--this involves separating out which ideas are the nice ideas the BP really ought to have been about, and which ideas seem unimportant and irrelevant. On the other hand, to label a BP "noisy" is just to notice there are extra properties varying that are independent of the solution property.

CROSSREFS
