I’d like to officially propose Knead’s Law[sup]*[/sup]:
I base this on exhaustive research. Well, OK … I looked at the last 20 threads here in ATMB that mentioned “sig” in the title and had OPs intended to be sig tests. I found that 50% of the time, the OP fell victim to Knead’s Law.
Am I too pathetic for words, or what?
[sup]*[/sup] Originally proposed as a corollary to Gaudere’s Law, before I realized there wasn’t any money in writing corollaries.
Which highlights the ultimate irony of the whole endeavor: sig tests are completely unnecessary. When you change your sig, it changes on every post you’ve ever posted, so you can change it then just go look at a post where you used it. Didn’t come out like you thought? Go change it and come right back to the same post.
I wouldn’t say you were pathetic for wanting a law named after you, but why this one? Pick a more universal law, like “25mph in a school zone”. I believe that one is still unclaimed
