"Ninety percent of everything is crap".Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said, "Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud.That' s because 90% of everything is crud."Oddly, when Sturgeon' s Law is cited, the final word is almost invariably changed to "crap".Compare Ninety-Ninety Rule.Though this maxim originated in SF fandom, most hackers recognise it and are all too aware of its truth.[Jargon File]
