I agree. And the laws are stated in complex sentences, so I really could use some more explanation. To learn more I have to click, go to another page, wait for a slow animation of the poster design and only then I could one paragraph explaining it further. And when I go back to the home page, it takes up to the top at the first law and I have to scroll it all over again to the point I was before.

Awful experience.

It looks like the author is a talented graphic designer that decided to compile the laws of UX without reading them (actually, I wouldn't know, as there was too much friction for me to read them all)

At first I did not like that the 3rd law spoke about 'sites' when it could be applied to applications as well (or any other usable thing). Then I realized that these are most probably citations.
I read them all. They have nothing to do with proper UX. They're just basics of perception.

The site is doing the equivalent of advertising as "rules of efficient chair design", and then listing laws of thermodynamics.
