"Cunningham se Wet" lui "die beste manier om die regte antwoord op die internet te kry is nie om 'n vraag te vra nie; dit is om die verkeerde antwoord te gee"

Die konsep is vernoem na Ward Cunningham, uitvinder van die wiki. Volgens Steven McGeady,^[1] die skrywer van die wet, is Wikipedia dalk wel die bekendste manifestasie van dié wet.^[2]

Cunningham se Wet kan beskou word as die Internet-ekwivalent van die Franse gesegde "prêcher le faux pour savoir le vrai" (spreek die leuen om die waarheid te leer). Sherlock Holmes het by tye die prinsiep gebruik (byvoorbeeld in "The Sign of the Four".^[3] In "Duty Calls" verwys xkcd na 'n soortgelyke konsep.^[4]

Ward is now famous as the inventor of the Wiki. Ironically, Wikipedia is now perhaps the most widely-known proof of Cunningham's Law.

If you do they will instantly shut up like an oyster. If you listen to them under protest, as it were, you are very likely to get what you want."
