No no, you got here correctly!
“404” is the HTTP error code that a website sends to you (well, to your browser) if you try to read a page that doesn’t exist. Normally it means that you typed the link incorrectly, or that the page has been renamed or deleted. The website can, however, redirect you to a special page to explain the problem. Some of them are funny:
Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/sljdfsdfh (you can type any garbage at the end):
Why wasn’t this page found?
We asked some leading economists.
Stagflation: The cost of pages rose drastically, while the page production rate slowed down.
General economics: There was no market for it.
Liquidity traps: We injected some extra money into the technology team but there was little or no interest so they simply kept it, thus failing to stimulate the page economy. (etc)
