The only reason it’s a “law” is because the MSM made it one. I very much doubt that Gordan Moore ever thought of it as a “law.”
Another in a long series of straw-man arguments put forward by the MSM to make themselves look clever, while showing themselves to be ignorant dip-excrements.
In 1975, eight years after leaving Fairchild to co-found Intel, Moore revised his "law", actually just an observation, to a doubling every two years.
