It's called Cunningham's Law[0]:

> Cunningham is credited with the idea: "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer." This refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question.

You missed a trick. You're supported to say it is Murphy's Law and then someone will come along and tell you it is actually called Cunningham's Law, thereby proving Cunningham's Law.

Here's guessing that was intentional, so yet another proof: *supposed.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to correct them by telling them that Cunningham's Law doesn't apply.

Was this downvoted because it was a joke or because people didn't get the joke? I can accept the former, but not the later.
