Talk:Shirky's Law

In response to the prod "made up law", please review the Adage. They were all coined at some point, and their survival depends on their pithiness and utility. Hugh MacLeod mentioned this one in a blog post and I looked it up in Wikipedia before checking his archives. You may argue that this one isn't widespread enough to deserve an entry yet (merge with Clay Shirky?), but I hadn't heard all the ones in adage, either, so how are they less "made up"?
