mentioning the sunset of a google products, in general, in any thread about some specific google product, is a kind of godwin's law.
because of ordering by vote, we can't see how quickly it happened in this case. in godwin's law the likelihood increases by length of discussion, implying a slow/linear kind of probability, but for google product sunset i would argue that the likelihood ramps up very aggressively from the start.
i hereby dub this `jiveturkey's law`.
like godwin's law, the subthread becomes a distraction. unlike godwin's law, the sunset distraction is always a legitimate point. it's just that it has become tired.
