this is not a kaminsky law, but maybe you'll accept it still. it's from one
of my professors. he used to say that EVERY time you write something, there
is something wrong with it unless you have a "miscellaneous" section.

there is ALWAYS an exception and NEVER a perfect concept.

what you can do is take the exceptions into account and make them at least
stay within sight.
