For a 'law' it can be trivially dis-proven. "Is water wet?". I think the article raises some legitimate questions about Windows 8 that can't be as flippantly dismissed as your analysis of the punctuation suggests.
- jarek 14y agoThis doesn't disprove the adage as in practice no one would write a headline or a HN submission link entitled "Is water wet?"
- blackhole 14y agoUnless they do for the precise reason of proving you wrong and then arguing against the point you are making.
- stcredzero 14y agoThis is the one time, "The exception that proves the rule," isn't sheer nonsense, precisely because it is.
- thomasjoulin 14y agoDid OP wrote his own title ? Currently the article is titled "Windows 8 – Who moved my desktop?" which is an exception to Betteridge's Law.
- jarek 14y ago"Windows 8 – Who moved my desktop?" was also the title when I saw the article six hours ago shortly after it was submitted to HN. My comment was regarding the title of the submission.
