Step 1. I’m certain it’s caching
Step 2. After evaluating all the caches, it’s definitely not caching.
Step 3. oooohhh, it’s not ram caching, it’s file caching
Step 4. I checked all those files, they’re definitely not caching anything unsafe.
Step 5. Oh, it’s the other files that are caching.
nah, it’s dns.
I checked the headers. This answer is cached.

Now if only there’s one for off-by-one errors!

Usually I do my best to blame the network with cause!
