Huh? I have no idea. If I had an idea, why would I spend my time on a message forum with it? You have clearly not thought this through.

You had the idea that "the whole idea of a fake deadline is nonsensical". That could only have come to you because your idea of what a fake deadline is is wrong.[1] Because they exist, so the idea of them is not "nonsensical". HTH!

[1]: So that's at least two ideas that you obviously have; putting the lie to your "I have no idea".

The classical notion of "idea" would exclude the output of software, no? Perhaps you are redefining "idea" here?
