The Bevens principle

This principle/ law states that “nothing can be proven as false or nonexistent

Another way to phrase this is “there is always a chance for anything to happen”
Does god exist?

Well The Bevens Principle states that we can’t prove God doesn’t exist. No matter what test we do, they’re is always a nonzero chance that there is one. Same goes for just about anything else.

Diaper Principle

The Diaper Principle is like a “poo-tastic” metaphor for how some workplaces handle mistakes. 🩴💩 It’s when management, in response to one person’s blunder, makes everyone wear a metaphorical diaper to prevent future mishaps. In other words, instead of dealing with the real issue, they make everyone suffer the consequences of one person’s mess!
Guess what? Karen spilled coffee on her keyboard, and now we all have to attend a ‘how not to spill coffee’ workshop!”
Employee 2: “OMG, that’s the Diaper Principle in full swing! Can’t believe they’re diapering us for Karen’s coffee catastrophe!

I wasn't sure if Kim Kardashian actually made shoes from organic spinach, until I saw a making of video by my favorite YouTuber, and in that moment, I knew that even the Bullshit Principle couldn't disprove my belief.

Shirky Principle

The principle in which institutions, or any organization, will try to preserve the problem to which they are supposed to be the solution.

(In reference to Author Clay Shirky (born 1964), an American writer, consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies and journalism.)
The IRS is a Shirky Principle organization. It will never attempt to totally get rid of tax evasion, even if it could, because the IRS needs to be maintained for reasons to find tax evasion.
