This "law" has spread to other blogs, and in some cases, actually enforced by bans. It was certainly a welcome voice to many a poster. [[Roger Ebert]] actually mentioned this on his [[Twitter]] account.
 
This is NOT a [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] trope. It's not saying that you ''have'' to analyze a work as if it were the results to a scientific test searching for the cure cancer. It just says that there is nothing wrong just liking a work for what it is without thinking about it too much. It's just rude (not to mention very annoying) to tell someone they're being stupid by analyzing the work and ''should'' just sit back and enjoy it mindlessly.
 
Contrast [[BellisariosBellisario's Maxim]]. Not to be confused with the other [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Moff's Law]]<ref>"You may fire when ready."</ref>, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tarkin_Doctrine Tarkin Doctrine] or the ''other'' other [[Steven Moffat|Moff's Law]] <ref>"It is the proper duty of every British subject to come to the aid of the TARDIS"</ref>. Compare [[ItsIt's Not Supposed to Win Oscars|It's Not Supposed To Win Oscars]], a similar defense used to derail criticism.
