I'm a little disappointed that no-one noticed that I was taking Marty's advice
and being as clear and unmoving as he told us to be, in my reply to him! He
made an untrue statement, and I told him so, with no waffling, no wimping
out, no RodneyDangerfielding. :-)
I think whether a formula is called a "law" or not has more to do with _when_
it was discovered. There was a time when many such formulas were
referred to as laws. Anyone ever done a timeline of these laws? I suspect
they mostly stop before 1900.
