A high level joke about Murphy’s law

It might take a while to get it

Additional comments:

The internet is a fascinating place where human psychology often trumps logic. There is a clever social engineering tactic that suggests the fastest way to get a correct answer online is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong information. This creates a powerful urge in people to correct the record. It is a brilliant demonstration of how ego and the desire to be helpful can actually crowdsource accuracy in real time. Interestingly, this concept is frequently misattributed. Many people call it Murphy’s Law, but the true name for this phenomenon is Cunningham’s Law. Murphy’s Law actually deals with the inevitability of failure, stating that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This screenshot captures the perfect meta moment of someone invoking Cunningham’s Law to correct a misunderstanding about Cunningham’s Law itself. It is a top tier example of irony playing out in the comments section of a public forum.
