Dallan's law 

Dallan's law is an epigram that is typically stated as: "If angle looks like 90 degrees, then it is 90 degrees."

The law is often followed by mistake in math where someone assumes that an angle in a triangle is 90 degrees so they can use rules that only can be applied to right triangles.

"90 degrees" can sometimes be a metaphor for something else e.g., "If someone sees a car as red, then it is red". This means that a thing can be perceived as something else even though it is obvious that it only can be one thing. A washing machine can therefore be perceived as a rocket launcher if that person is stupid enough.
Example 1:

David: Why do I get the wrong answer when I use the Pythagorean theorem?

Teacher: Beacause it does not contain a right triangle. You probably utilized Dallan's law.

Example 2:

David: What a nice avocado you got there!

Åsa: Thanks David, but that's a potato. I guess you're right though according to Dallan's law.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
