Chisholm's Third Law

Proposals, as understood by the proposer, will be judged otherwise by others.

Corollaries

1. If you explain so clearly that nobody can misunderstand, somebody will.

2. If you do something which you are sure will meet with everybody's approval, somebody won't like it;

3. Procedures devised to implement the purpose won't quite work.
