I have never heard Sturgeon's Law invoked to place the speaker anywhere: I've only heard it as a rebuttal of a dismissal. If someone haughtily says they don't watch TV, and cites three shows as reasons why TV is terrible, well, yes 90% of TV is crap, but so is 90% of opera, 90% of stage plays, 90% of tweets. If we judge anything based on the median, it's crap, so it makes more sense to judge things based on their best examples. And if 90% of invocations of Sturgeon's Law are crap, well, we should judge them by the best examples too :)
