a lawlike generalisation of sorts
I thought Davies's law was ""Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance"
Came here to say the same thing.
Aphorisms are great and your publisher should not give you grief! I have my own, "I know a little about a lot of different things." It's served me well and I can converse on about any subject coherently for 2-5 minutes.
I've been saying something similar for years -- "the reason to make plans isn't to follow them precisely, but to notice when they have changed. "
