only the proverbial 15 minutes of fame, because based on what you now know, you could submit a record-breaker for the record-breaker, namely, "Guinness noted that Faulkner wrote," or, "Pinker mentioned that Guinness noted that Faulkner wrote," or, "Who cares that Pinker mentioned that Guinness noted that Faulkner wrote...?" This is best illustrated in ambiguous sentences, sentences where the same string of words can be grouped into phrases in different ways, each of which has a different meaning.
