- Does anyone know Sturgeon's Law?
- I think it goes "90 percent of everything is crap".
-
- I cant remember where I heard it, but I think the story goes:
-
- Theodore Sturgeon (the late SciFi writer) was giving a lecture
- and some young man stood up and said "I've been reading a lot
- of SF and most of it is crap!"
-
- Sturgeon responded: "90 percent...."
-
- Is this true?
-
- thanks.
