Murphys Laws: Law of Research to Richard's Complementary Rules of Ownership
(Murphy's Laws collected: 1583)
Law of Research : Enough research will tend to support your theory.
Law of Restaurant Acoustics : In a restaurant with seats which are close to each other, one will always find the decibel level of the nearest conversation to be inversely proportional to the quality of the thought going into it.
Law of Revelation : The hidden flaw never remains hidden.
First Law of Revision : Information necessitating a change of design will be conveyed to the designer after -- and only after -- the plans are complete. (Often called the "Now they tell us!" Law.)
First Law of Revision Corollary : In simple cases, presenting one obvious right way versus one obvious wrong way, it is often wiser to choose the wrong way, so as to expedite subsequent revision.
Second Law of Revision : The more innocuous the modification appears to be, the further its influence will extend and the more plans will have to be redrawn.
Third Law of Revision : If, when completion of a design is imminent, field dimensions are finally supplied as they actually are -- instead of as they were meant to be -- it is always easier to start all over.
Third Law of Revision Corollary : It is usually impractical to worry beforehand about interferences -- if you have none, someone will make one for you.
Fourth Law of Revision : After painstaking and careful analysis of a sample, you are always told that it is the wrong sample and doesn't apply to the problem.
Richard's Complementary Rules of Ownership : If you keep anything long enough you can throw it away.
