This is nonsense. E.g. you can sell a house tax-free no earlier than two years after you’ve bought it, and only if you oived in it — if not, you need to wait 10 years for a tax-free sale.
I would argue that these are the instincts that form the basis for our concept of ownership of assets, and predate our modern justice systems by tens of millions of years.
The two years plus 1 day rule applies only of the curse of 10 years, if you haven't moved in directly.
