Arthur's Paradox

Arthur's Paradox is an observation about quizbowl made by Bruce Arthur. It states that while quizbowl players adore concepts that are doubly-, triply-, or otherwise poly-eponymous, virtually no concepts created by quizbowl players to describe quizbowl are poly-eponymous.

Examples

Examples of mono-eponymous concepts include:

• Weiner's Laws
• Sorice's Rule of Blogs
• Magin's Analogy
• Magin's Law
• Suzman's Paradox
• Westbrook Limit

Ironically, Arthur's Paradox is also an example.

Exceptions

Noted exceptions to Arthur's Paradox include:

• The Mukherjee-Passner Effect
