Totally agree. I guess I just like it as a concept because it’s almost a tautology.

Organized people are organized.

People who value short-term experiments will make short-term experiments.

The only part that is palm-reader level is the translation across contexts. And I agree that it’s a terrible law, but probably a decent rule of thumb, that someone who is tidy in one area of their life is likely tidy in others. But yeah, we shouldn’t really look into it any more than that.

It’s like other vague assumptions that our brain makes. Probably correct to some degree sometimes, but not a hard rule by any means.
