   * [[Generalization Principle]] (GP): RoE often results in specific solutions. Generality often requires stating something implicitly.
   * [[Low Coupling]] (LC): Direct communication typically has the disadvantage of a higher coupling. Indirection reduces coupling but creates implicit/indirect communication paths.
+  * [[Don't Repeat Yourself]] (DRY): Following RoE sometimes leads to duplication.
 ==== Complementary Principles ====
   * [[Keep It Simple Stupid]] (KISS): Explicit solutions are often also simpler.
-  * [[Murphy's Law]] (ML):The typical reason for RoE is to avoid unnecessarily complicated solutions and possibilities for defects. Don't loose that goal out of sight.

   * [[Model Principle]] (MP): RoE states that [[anti-patterns:primitive obsession]] shall be avoided. Instead more specific types should be used in parameter lists. MP makes this even clearer: In object-orientation objects instead of plain integers or strings are used.
   * [[Law of Leaky Abstractions]] (LLA): Often abstractions create a level of implicitness. Abstraction leaks are one reason why explicit solutions can be considered preferable.
