I love you. I fail to remember the name of this phenomenon and I spend 3 minutes googling for it every time I see a headline that is a question.

“Is there any CEO better than Satya Nadella?” The “law” is no such thing.

Of course it’s a thing. It even has a Wikipedia article. You might not agree with it, but that’s not the same as it not being a thing.

As it says in the article you yourself linked, it is an adage, not a law. My point is, this is not a generalizable thing, so comments using this to defend their response is not useful.
