"There is nothing more temporary than a permanent solution and nothing more permanent than a temporary solution" needs to be designated as a rule or law akin to Hofstadter's law or the Ninety-ninety rule. As a placeholder until a better name is chosen, I propose we call it Foundart's Rule.

It's already named Daugherty's Law.

Easily locatable under that name. The Daugherty is the late Richard D. Daugherty, who was Professor of Anthropology at Washington State University.

Googling for "Daugherty's Law" only returns law firms, and a cursory reading up on Richard Daugherty doesn't seem to indicate anything of the aforementioned.

So, yes, would appreciate a citation so we can all learn a new trivia of the day.

Yeah, seems like something a professor said one day in class but never published.
