Should Aphorisms have a separate section, rather than remaining in Main?

The thread title is pretty much the entire topic: should trope pages covering aphorisms, such as "Murphy's Law", "Hanlon's Razor", "The Rules of the Internet", etc. be gathered into a new, separate namespace titled something such as 'Aphorisms' or 'Folk Sayings'? Or is the existing 'Laws and Formulas' Index sufficient (keeping in mind that indices and sections serve unrelated purposes)?

If this is done, then how would the Hive Mind decide which trope pages to place there? While there are several obvious candidates (such as the ones mentioned above), there are some pages which cover something that is an aphorism (or derived from an aphorism) but also stands on its own as a trope (e.g., "Hobson's Choice").

Logically no,they are tropes and all tropes belong in Main,moving them to different namespace is redundant
