"If you have to request assistance/advice from a store/office-employee, you will be obliged to wander all over da place and "search till Doomsday" to find someone who is not presently too occupied to listen to you. Yet once you finally receive your answer, THEN there will be ABSOLUTE MULTITUDES OF PERSONNEL just lounging around and making themselves available, and so you will feel like a total JACKA** for not having simply waited a few more minutes to ask your question, rather than wearing out your feet and legs from running all over da shop to find someone to ask!"
I spent over five minutes scampering up and down the aisles at Wally-World trying to find a "free" employee to ask about the availability of a certain product, but then afterwards, there were several non-busy staffpeople whom I met en-route back to my shopping-cart whom I could have asked just as easily at that point --- talk about a classic case of Murphy's Law of Staff-Availability! :P :P

None of us are as dumb as all of us.
A counter to the older, pro-teamwork adage "None of us are as smart as all of us."
Speaks to the risk of lower-level workers' input being useless if upper management gives its own opinion first, due to the tendency of workers to fall in line once the position of the leader (who could fire them for dissent) is known.
The wording above was written on a wall at NASA's Houston complex after the Challenger disaster, as reported by astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Although the concept has long been known of, once it took the form of an aphorism, it acquired a viral quality.

Niels Bohr and son Aage asked low-level engineer Richard Feynman their questions before asking higher-ups like Oppenheimer, partly to avoid taking up important administrators' time, but also to avoid Kelly's law of committees. Asking the higher-ups first, with lower-level workers present, would have a chilling effect on the latter's offering their own ideas and concerns.

the events before the police state martial law happens like the overreacting cops when parents are taken pictures to tell them to TURN OFF THAT CAMERA!!!, the rising food prices, the admitting about the NWO on the news, the threat of US attack by Bin Laden, the economy, the plunging DOW. 2) other recent bad events that happened when this was defined.
Guy 1: have you heard about Halloween candy containing melanoma in their milk products and the US government not releasing the information about what kinds of candy are affected??
Guy 2: i know and thats all part of partial law.

The point at which Reductio ad absurdum reaches a point in which the argument at hand has lost all credibility
If two people are trying to make a soft drink, and one can't, but the other bottles AIDS, clearly the lack of soft drink is better than a bottle of AIDS. - Alkaias Law in effect
