Very good! We are already establishing a cultic baseline for our Quantum Supremacy Empire.

The Knights of NIH* guard the holy shroud of Turing in the Church of Santo Alonzo. His holy Lambda sets on the altar.

If a heretic desecrates the Supreme Quantum Sanctuary the Knights of NIH hang him by his digits from the shrubbery and suss out his Entscheidungs.

They stretch him out on the Lambda Calculus until he confesses his trespassery. With the mouth chock full of elderberries, he must prayerfully recite the keywords for absolution:

"Odorous, Windbreak, Mother, Hamster, Father, Elderberry, Sangraal."

The final punishment and test of the accused heretic is by feeding him the endlessly rejuvenating Apple of Saint Turing. No matter how many bytes are taken from the apple, it grows back from the start each time and the little green worm returns as if never swallowed. If the worm transforms into a honeybee then the accused heretic is innocent. If the worm does not transform into a honeybee the heretic is chained in the dungeon where he is forced to learn Common Lisp on a Commodore 64 and interact with rapacious Lemmy-ings and Mastodonians.

We require a most piquant and poignant name for the little, green worm and his process of rejuvenation, nay, even apotheosis.

As for updating Poe's Law, I am impelled to say that the label of fundamentalism is a sword that cuts both ways, even to the lopping off of the wielder's lips and eyebrows and scalp, or even his whole noggin. There is no shortage of fundamentalist hindrance in the tech industry, and even in the cryptology milieu. Poe's Law can also be like old cryptography, worn as cheap camouflage.
