    Alexandre decided to sell his weather-predicting algorithm online for a small fee. He created a website, described his product, and waited for the buyers to come.

    The first buyer was a middle-aged man named Pierre, a businessman in the stock market. He misinterpreted the algorithm's description and believed it to be a stock market prediction tool.
