According to Wikipedia, Godwin’s Law states: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
We’ve all experienced this and it needs no elaboration or explanation.
This sprang to mind the other day as I was scrolling through Cam’s article on his experience with the new Santa Cruz Heckler. It didn’t take very long for somebody insisted the e-bikes are motorcycles and walked away like they’d won the argument.
Thus, today, I have a proposal for an e-bike specific Godwin’s Law. Simply put: As an online discussion on e-bikes grows longer, the probability of somebody insisting that an e-bike is a motorcycle approaches 1.
Making these sorts of statements is just about as helpful as people throwing around Hitler comparisons in discussions about dog grooming, camera lenses or pickling. Godwin’s Law also dictates that once the comparison is invoked by the perpetrator, the argument is lost.
