Abstract
The rule forbidding φ → ρπ and other stuff has been credited to a number of physicists in various combinations. To avoid arguments about credit, this paper refers to the A … Z rule and allows the reader to insert the names of all desired friends from Alexander1 to Zweig.2 Unfortunately the wide distribution of credit has introduced a fuzziness in the definition of the rule. All formulations forbid φ → ρπ, f′ → ππ and J/ ψ → ordinary hadrons. But other predictions are not universal and depend upon whose formulation is used.
