Controversy
Fan Pan Tae, while popular, is repeatedly questioned about its accuracy. Internet webboard posters, such as in Pantip.com, has proven that the show was giving wrong answers in many occasions. A more serious allegation claims that the show is giving unfairly advantages to famous contestants, especially those in the show business, over ordinary people who contest in the same topic (anyone can apply to play the game, regardless of their notability.) Another Workpoint's show, Tod Sa Gun Game, is also criticized of fraudulent. However, all of these errors were corrected, and questions that were given wrong answers never aired on TV. Instead, they were scrapped and played another round, with different questions.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
