Kim, my man, the length and complexity of this name is too much. I want to be able to remember the laws easily and to use them as needed. The name you chose makes this objective impossible. I know you are dealing with complicated issues here, but please consider taking another cut at it. How about just “The Law of Contexts”? Something shorter and easier to remember, please.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why was I trying to cram so much into the title? I don't know. I was running out of laws. It was a terrible feeling. What could I do? <\/p>\n

Anyway, I squeezed too hard. And now I will make amends. I'm so glad we have a blog here and we can do all of this in real time. It is a great way to work.<\/p>\n

So let's go with your much simpler and superior title for the Seventh Law:<\/p>\n

I think it's a take.<\/p>\n
