It’s missing Brandolini’s Law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."
I'm also a big fan of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%27s_dilemma , which I wish had gotten more traction over the years.
Stigler's law of eponymy[1] rules them all.
1. Wikipedia: "Stigler's law of eponymy ... states that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer. ... Stigler himself named the sociologist Robert K. Merton as the discoverer of "Stigler's law" to show that it follows its own decree, though the phenomenon had previously been noted by others."
