It is not a law.
It never was a law.
An observation is all that it ever was, or a prediction, but not a law.
And surprise, it does not hold true anymore.
The prophecy was false, after all.
I am appalled by the entire industry's willingness to accept it being called a law, when it was clearly failing to meet the criteria for a law.
I remember, when I heard the term for the first time, as a child, I felt there was something wrong about it; there was an objection inside of me wanting to get out, but I knew that no one around me cared to debate this.
So, I remained silent, and I accepted the term, but only provisionally, under the excuse of poetic license, as a statement patently employing absurdity in order to impress.
And now the time has come that it does not impress anymore.
