Chisholm's Third Law

Proposals, as understood by the proposer, will be judged otherwise by others.

Corollary 1: If you explain so clearly that nobody can misunderstand, somebody will.

Corollary 2: If you do something which you are sure will meet with everyone's approval, somebody won't like it.

Corollary 3: Procedures devised to implement the purpose won't quite work.

Corollary 4: No matter how long or how many times you explain, no one is listening.
