BEER Ch. 4 The Red Herring

[John Bailey]

Surely the vast, vast majority of readers are going to be more
acquainted with red herring in the literary sense rather than the IPO
thing. That's how it might refer to something other than that, in an
extra-diegetic sense. And the confusion that follows (how is this a
red herring) might lead to looking up the term, working out its
diegetic meaning, and then realising that that little definitional
excursion away from the reading was itself a red herring.
