The COD Paradox

When change is asked for an element and then the element is changed too much, so the individuals who originally requested change are now complaining and want to go back.
When Black Ops 2 came out people wanted something different, when Advanced Warfare came out, people wanted to go back, classic example of The Cod Paradox...

Paradise Lost

An epic poem written in the 1660s by John Milton and spanning 12 books, Paradise Lost is widely considered the greatest English language epic. Although it is about the fall of Man from the Garden of Eden, one must wonder about Milton - despite his world view of "God gave you free will but unless you toe the line you'll get pounded," he still makes the character of Satan a dangerously alluring epic anti-hero.
"Although Tom was put off by the seemingly incomprehensible Latinate sentence structure of Paradise Lost, he could sniff out masterful poetry like a literary bloodhound.

Facebook Paradox

On the social networking site, Facebook, the Facebook Paradox is the inverse proportian between the number of friends on has on Facebook and the number of friends one has in real life.

The paradox can be explained by reasoning that somebody who is so active in Facebook must have a lack of real life social interactions to account for the time they can afford to spend on the Internet. On the converse, somebody with a very active social life does not typically worry about spending too much time on social networking sites, hence the lack of Facebook friends.
Jenny has 3,000 friends on Facebook, but nobody really even likes or talks to her. She is an example of Facebook Paradox. Lots of friends on Facebook, but hardly any friends in real life.

On the other hand, Carol only has 30 friends on facebook, but everybody things she is really cool and she has an active social life. She is also an example of the Facebook Paradox.

He has to either give you up, or let you down, which rule will he break?
