Throckmorton's Law
From FrathWiki
Found this tidbit in some old conlanging notes, probably from about 1997 or so: The actual Promise or Utility of any philosophical or rational Language is inversely proportional to the Hype or Propaganda made in support of that Language by its Creators or Supporters. -- -- Peary H. Throckmorton, Philosopher (1708-1785)
