PTTP: Pratik's Three Time Principle

This one is solely accredited to my friend Pratik.
As you can see, PTTP stands for Pratik's three time principle.

I know I have wasted three lines typing the stuff that is obvious from the title and then wasted two more lines in saying that I've wasted two lines...but well,why should I care? space is free here,isn't it?? ;)

Seems I lost my train of thoughts there...but now,coming back to Pratik's Three Time Principle.
For those who know Pratik, he's a man for logical behaviour . So when he tries to convince someone something logically,he expects a logical co-operation,which is quite a logical expectation.
But most of the times,nobody cares about the logic and only keep repeating their points,without much thinking about what the other person is saying.

So that gave birth to PTTP.
The PTTP says that if during a conversation about convincing someone,that someone repeats his sentence for third consecutive time it's time to give up the efforts.
Think about it,since he repeated it three times,there's high probability that he'll repeat it for fourth or indefinite more times...

Do you really wanna waste your time talking to some idiot or would you rather apply PTTP and get the hell out of a agonizing conversation??

Just like UCNL,we have also been practising PTTP since our two engineering years,especially with arguably insane friends who have a tendency of wanting to win an argument regardless the actual topic of argument. For example,if you're having an argument with my friend Smit,it's always advisable to apply PTTP unless you want a severe headache after the end of the conversation or want to end up killing him.
There are worse cases like a few faculty members that have absolutely "No Input".
You can apply special corollaries like "Two Time Principle" or "One Time Principle" in such extremely menacing cases.
There is another variance called as Zero Time Principle or more commonly "Pratik's Ignore Principle" or PIP .It's usually applied to certifiably irritating friends with a tendancy of irritating you more once you start replying.

Every engineer has applied PTTP or its variances sometime or the other without knowing that a genius has actually formulated it down to a principle. But well,since you've read this,you know whom to thank for a sigh of relief when you sneak out of a frustrating argument thanks to PTTP...
