I forgot where I snatched this bit by Hong Ooi. It was probably off Usenet.

Hong’s 1st law: “It’s only the other people who are munchkins”

Hong’s 2nd law: “Thinking too hard about fantasy is bad” (corollary: “you can find a handwave for anything”; rejoinder to corollary: “some handwaves are better than others”)

Hong’s 3rd law: “Any sufficiently widespread magic is indistinguishable from technology”
