Pixy's 22nd Law

In any situation where there is the classic asymmetry of regard; that is, Group A thinks Group B is evil, while Group B thinks Group A is stupid, Group B is almost always correct.

The reasons for this become obvious once one realises that this still holds true when the labels are reversed.

2 Yep, that's stupid all right. It's one of Rusty's guest posters, though; Rusty himself is rather more sensible.

3 I'm confused. Do you mean it still holds true when the labels "Group A" and "Group B" are reversed, or when the labels "evil" and "stupid" are reversed? I'm assuming the latter, but my low intellect perceives the original statement ambiguously.

4 A & B. In other words, stupidity is far more common than evil.

5 Ah. I thought the principle was "people who think other people are evil tend to be stupid", but your interpretation makes more sense.

6 That's because evil is stupid. You can use the commutative property to do the math.
