Hi! I'm Henshaw, and I coined this law. Dave Akin was my lab director in grad school.

You are correct in your analysis. Of course, the phrasing was meant to be a little aggressive, otherwise it isn't memorable.

That is totally true and was something I missed. A law is of no value if no one remembers it. I bet we could even find one of Akin's laws to explain why that is the case.

Side note, HN blows my mind sometimes in that I can make a comment on a term and within minutes the guy who coined the term is on here responding.
