Sturgeon's Law prov.

"Ninety percent of everything is crap". Derived from a quote

by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said,

"Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud. That's because 90% of

everything is crud." Oddly, when Sturgeon's Law is cited, the

final word is almost invariably changed to `crap'. Compare Hanlon's Razor, Ninety-Ninety Rule. Though this

maxim originated in SF fandom, most hackers recognize it and are

all too aware of its truth.
