Clarification on Ebert's Law (http://www.journalfen.net/community/jurisimprudence/10082.html):
Derived from Roger Ebert, a film critic who is not actually in the filmmaking business, but nonetheless capable of judging a film's quality based on experience and his own taste. Anyone who says "If you don't like ____, I'd like to see you do better!" or a variation thereof is guilty of invoking Ebert's Law.
While Ebert's Law is obviously not a valid legal term, like Godwin's Law* it is useful in debate situations to identify holes in the opposing party's theories.
* "The first person in a debate to compare the opposing side to Hitler and/or Nazis loses the debate."
