What's the scientific principle or "law" that states that something like 99% of the work is the easiest, or least expensive, but that that last 1% of precision is the most difficult to attain, or the costliest. I think I've seen it applied to engineering, but it applied to pretty much everything.

Anyone know off the top of their heads?

Nah, I think it had a name like "Godwin's Law" or "Occam's Razor".

I dont know if there is a formal principle, but that appears in normal distributions and inverse exponentials.

Couldn't you have posted this in the singularity general thread? Or the how do we fix economics thread? Or any of the other threads about optimization problems?
