Line 8:
* Can anyone say the [[Evil Overlord List]]?
* To some extent, the "nicer form" (so to speak) of counterinsurgency can be said to require this to some extent, at least to avoid a [[0% Approval Rating]].
* Ever since Alexander the Great, there have been stories of great commanders who ate hardtack, showed off their scars and exchanged very dirty jokes with their men. Because it's a great way to remake oneself into a legendartlegendary [[Magnetic Hero]]- and this worked for Alexander back then!
* Murphy's Law, [[Finagle's Law]], [[Sturgeon's Law]] and their many variants are all intended to be this, whether you agree depends on where you stand on the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]].
* Everyone at this wiki may as well count. [[Meta Concepts|The idea on its own]]. But especially in the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] page sometimes. It's possible to become so savvy about the genre and the creator's themes and habits that you can predict certain revelations and plot points way before they happen.
