[Fictionary] Variant round: WIRTH'S LAW

[Jim Moskowitz]

There are tons of laws, principles, and rules — in varying levels of seriousness — named after individuals. Benford’s Law says that in any collection of data, more entries will begin with lower digits than higher ones, with 1 being the most common first digit of all. Godwin’s Law says that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. Ribot's law says that, in amnesia, more recent memories are most affected. 

In that spirit, this round asks you to say what an eponymous law is. First, to find out if anyone already knows it. My candidate law is 
WIRTH'S LAW

Let me know by Thursday if you already know it. If I don’t here back from anyone, on Friday I’ll send a Go email; otherwise I’ll choose a different candidate law.
