see Patrick's Law--<Murphy was an optimist.>. after a lifetimes' harsh experience, i am a devout believer.
FACT.
Murphy was an assistant to a NASA scientist experimenting with g forces on humans. he used a speeding railcar over water with adjustable paddles to decelerate quickly. . first test, strapped in, Murphy connected the 19 unmarked polarised sensors, all reversed, so zero readings. hence the original saying < if there's more than one way of doing something, it will be done wrong.> whether Murphy made the mistake and copied it, or made 19 mistakes in a row we don't know,, but he is forever remembered/reveered for the his contribution to the laws of probability. Patrick is a fictional latecomer to reinforce the <law>. i have experienced/seen the adverse effects of this law so often i am compelled to believe it true, despite the loud denials from the laws of probability adherents and more rational minds.
