A natural law that dictates that the depth and accuracy of your task description is inversely proportional to the importance of the task. You will be given a ten-page written specification on preparing an invitation for five customers to come to morning coffee, a tax audit report will be requested in an email consisting of a single paragraph, while a request to revise the organization's entire cost structure will be delivered verbally in a single sentence.
CEO: Bernie, our database manager left and we need a report of all customers who bought semi-spleeted widgets in the northwest region since the beginning of the month. There's a potentially fatal fault and we need to do a product recall.
Bernie: Sure, right away! What's the product code for semi-spleeted widgets, and what's the region code?
CEO: Dunno. The database manager left. But it's all in the database. Just do it.
Bernie: Hmmm... the inverse specificity law indicates that this task must be critically important!

A guy will bang a chick somewhat below his league as long as she's willing to give it up immediately with little to no bullshit. The amount of attitude she can have is inversely proportional to her standing on the 1-10 scale.
Jim was still at the bar at 1AM and still hadn't found anyone. It was time to apply the Inverse Hookup Law to that 6 who's been standing in the corner all night.
