This is a common pattern in history:
- Person 1 makes an observation that they assert is true
- Person 2 refers to this observation as “Person 1’s Law” for convenience when discussing the observation and whether or not it is true.
There’s nothing wrong or “graceless” with Person 1 then using the term themselves, even for the purpose of arguing in favor of their assertion (which is what this web page is doing).
Some examples:
