Takých zákonov, ako sú Murphyho, je však, samozrejme, viac. Napríklad: Keď raz odbočíme nesprávnym smerom, potom to už robíme sústavne. Alebo: Ľudia, ktorí nosia klobúky, oplešivejú. Ale čo ak je všetko inak? Čo ak klobúky nosia plešiví ľudia, pretože im je zima na hlavu? Naivný vedec však neverí, že na hlavu môže byť zima. (On však má, samozrejme, husté vlasy.) Má aj hmlistú predstavu, že to, čo sa zakrýva, zvyčajne hynie. Rastliny a zvieratá trpia, tak prečo nie aj vlasy? Klobúk dolu pred naivným vedcom!
