Could you say that more... simply? Which parts of the history do you think should be summarised or moved later in the article, and which removed as fringe? Apart from the very specific details of Murphy's sensor experiments, the content seems about right to me for an adage coined recently enough to have been documented first hand. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:07, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Misinterpretation widely stated as fact in page.
The page contains several statements that the statement is a pessimistic one. However as explained in my edit this is a misinterpretation. The statement is likely not "pessimistic" but precautionary. The assumption the law is pessimistic should be corrected throughout the page. IMakeSoftware (talk) 08:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
