Lei de Cunningham
Appearance
Outdated translations are marked like this.
A lei de Cunningham afirma que "a melhor maneira de obter a resposta certa na Internet não é fazer uma pergunta, é postar a resposta errada."
A lei tem o nome de Ward Cunningham, pai do wiki. Segundo o Steven McGeady,[1] o autor da lei, Wikipedia poderia ser a manifestação mais conhecida desta lei.[2]
A lei de Cunningham pode ser considerada o equivalente do refrán francês "prêcher lhe faux pour savoir lhe vrai" (pregar a falsidade por saber a verdade). Em "Duty Calls," xkcd cita um conceito similar.[3]

Cunningham's Law: The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer. N.b. named after Ward Cunningham, a colleague of mine at Tektronix. This was his advice to me in the early 1980s with reference to what was later dubbed USENET, but since generalized to the Web and the Internet as a whole. Ward is now famous as the inventor of the Wiki. Ironically, Wikipedia is now perhaps the most widely-known proof of Cunningham's Law.
