I asked John Lamping about what the "Testing on the Toilet" people tell

I haven't heard back from the Testing on the Toilet people to know if
it is OK to distribute this episode outside. But I did a search, and
found earlier episodes that were published publicly and that mention
the Law of Demeter. This one, for example:

This search finds all dozen of them:
