You are guessing wrongly.

Further, Moore's, "law" is not a "law" it is a supposition that has 
tended toward being somewhat accurate over the years.  It may eventually 
hit a brick wall, or perhaps through new discoveries, become an 
understatement, like statements about PCs only requiring 640K of memory.

One thing I am pretty sure of, Moore would have similar sentiments to my 
own regarding people like "Mapi" and his evocation of Moore in his 
bigoted claptrap.  Further, I suspect Moore would understand my license 
in referring to his "law" as I did.  He appears to have a pretty good 
understanding of the creative process.

Below I quote part of his bio, which I think shows that even he 
understands his "law" is nothing more than a rule of thumb that became 
an goal.  Most laws represent natural phenomena, as we know them.

In the same manner as Moore's supposition, or rule of thumb has been 
couched as a "law", I have taken some liberty with the concept to make 
my point about the nature of the postings I was responding to.

The fact that a number of you don't "get" the intent makes me recognize 
that many people in this world are unfortunately "stuck" in a 
liberalized existence.

Then again, there's still that 38% approval rating that needs explaining 
somehow.

BTW: Moore received the National Medal of Technology from George Bush 
Sr. in 1990.

But thank you for offering to edify me.

Part of Gordon Moore's bio as provided by Intel:

Gordon E. Moore is currently Chairman Emeritus of Intel Corporation. 
Moore co-founded Intel in 1968, serving initially as Executive Vice 
President. He became President and Chief Executive Officer in 1975 and 
held that post until elected Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 
1979. He remained CEO until 1987 and was named Chairman Emeritus in 1997.

Moore is widely known for "Moore's Law," in which in 1965 he predicted 
that the number of transistors the industry would be able to place on a 
computer chip would double every year. In 1975, he updated his 
prediction to once every two years. While originally intended as a rule 
of thumb in 1965, it has become the guiding principle for the industry 
to deliver ever-more-powerful semiconductor chips at proportionate 
decreases in cost.
