Would there be a triple negative situation, thus reverting the situation back to one in which our site did not win anything? That didn&#8217;t seem fair to us, so we dug deeper. Our only hope seemed to be in achieving the rare but powerful quadruple negative.<\/p>\n<p>If a fake site\u00a0<em>denies<\/em> that the other fake site nominated them for a fake version of a real award, then there is a chance that this would create such a tear in the fabric of truth that the award might actually materialize in the offices of the fake site.
