Good point.<p>Note also that some &quot;laws&quot; may remain as &quot;laws&quot;, even in the face of experimental evidence which directly contradicts the predicted results of that law.<p>Which gives rise to &quot;The Law of Research Funding&quot;, in which the amount of funding that can be attracted to support a given law is proportional to the amount of real world experimental evidence which contradicts that law.  :)
