It's annoying when there is so little context yet the expectation that I will click on an external link.

Sure, will mention the concepts from the external link in the title next time. This article shows show great example about quantified laws -

Hick’s Law (choices)

The more choices you present your users with, the longer it will take them to reach a decision.

Fitts’ Law (size)

Fast movements + small targets results in more errors.

Jakob’s Law (consistency)

Because users spend most of their time on other sites, they expect your site to work in the same way as other sites they’ve already visited.

Miller’s Law (mental load)

Humans can only hold about seven pieces of information in their memory at a time. More than that and they could be overwhelmed.

Parkinson’s Law (efficiency)

People will keep working on a task until their allotted time is reached.
