Weber's Law

Weber's Law

Weber’s law, also called Weber-Fechner law, historically important psychological law quantifying the perception of change in a given stimulus.

Weber, Ernst Heinrich

User ID : 5,555,554

A little bit odd that they were able to nearly match their UserID in the username itself... likely by created multiple accounts in a row.
