This is the perfect visualization of eventual consistency in distributed systems! The sign claims 236 people drowned, but somehow 237 weren't wearing life jackets. That off-by-one error is basically what happens when your database nodes haven't synced yet. "Don't worry, the data will be consistent... eventually™." Just like how this lake's tragic statistics will probably get fixed in the next write operation. Or maybe they're counting a future drowning victim who's already decided not to wear a life jacket but hasn't fallen in yet. Talk about pessimistic locking!
