Insurance

[edit]

Isn't there also an insurance-related meaning? Claiming the same damage under two different insurance policies? 74.190.136.115 (talk) 23:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're confused: that's called "hanging oneself", since underwriters surely treat their calling as a means of survival, and support consortia that put folks who are stupid enuf to try it in prison. However, double insuring is not self-evidently fraudulent, I suspect: IANALB there may be non-fraudulent circumstances of double insuring, as a substitute for buying what I would call "insurance against failure of one's primary insurer" that that pays *only* in the event the primary insurer can't deliver. But seriously, folks, don't trust a guy in a diner like me such as I am.

Science

[edit]

Is there a full page somewhere on the double-dipping associated with the scientific meaning of the expression?

Also this paper maybe explains it well, but just realised I can't cite things on disambig. pages... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2841687/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionfish0 (talkcontribs) 09:45, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seinfeld Reference

[edit]

Why is the Seinfeld reference necessary in regards to the social taboo of double dipping? Not relevant and adds nothing to the meaning. I've removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.217.149 (talk) 21:55, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

   Yer right, it's kinda like [[kicking a man when he's down, is'n it!

I came here because of the Seinfeld reference, so I would have found it relevant having it mentioned in the main article 88.93.213.126 (talk) 23:49, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
