Get the Bush's Lawmug. The law that any discussion on the internet that goes in long enough will result in someone claiming that the US Civil War wasn't about slavery.
(long discussion about the BLM and Blue Lives flags and what they mean to people)

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.
