Murphy's Law, for programming or anything else, states that "If anything
can go wrong, it will.". Whether or not the rule you state above is
valid, it needs a different name, because the actual Murphy's Law is far
too important to be forgotten or go nameless.

So is "murphy's law" a "best practice?" ;-) 

Oddly enough, its entire value is in its tendency to challenge people to
circumvent it, by ensuring there is nothing that can go wrong.
