Cunningham’s Law.

"the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Famously, and in formal completion of Cunningham's law disapproval. Cunningham has never said that, and actually disagrees with the aphorism, he's been quoted qualifying it as a misquote and a proof of misinformation spread on the internet in complete self-defeating disprove.

I hear you, but I choose to ignore this info.
