> Pareto's law really isn't a law.

No "law" of software or business is technically a law in the same rigorous sense that a scientific law is. But that's not why we call them laws and it would be nitpicking to call that out, besides entirely missing the point.

Also, it's actually the Pareto Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle) not "Pareto's Law" but that's also nitpicking.
