I am just saying we have Stanford Prison study that postulates laws. The Aronson laws of psychology, social predominance, all laws yet all situational.
The wonderful thing is this law is a mathematical equation let me show you n= length of argument
(n-1)(.3)^2/n(2)
The fact that it merely approaches one means it is not inevitable. Just like the laws of gravity all objects exert a force toward mass yet based on a law items fall at a rate of 9.8 m/sec^2 but an object reaches a terminal velocity based on its mass-- you cant exceed that so law of equal and opposite forces acts as a counter balance on the law of gravity.
The simple structure of my supposed formula shows that it can never equal 1.

How we define things determine what we mean. For instance if you write a law (as in the legal code) and I get to determine the definitions, you have no control over your own law. So don't knock definitions too much. For me a law is what the standard definition is, it universal and always true. That doesn't mean it can't be acted upon by another force, but all things being equal it always reacts the same. Now if you want to define a law as you did earlier as a rule of thumb, what do we call universal truths?
