|Description=[[The Law of Theory Demarcation (Sarwar-Fraser-2018)|The ''law of theory demarcation'' ]] is not a tautology, because it is in principle violable, as i.e. it forbids certain logical possibilities.[[CiteRef::Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] In particular, if the assessment outcomes of by the demarcation criteria are conclusively satisfied, then it is impossible for the theory's status to be considered ''unscientific '' or ''uncertain''. MoreoverSimilarly, if a theory conclusively fails to satisfy the demarcation criteria employed by an epistemic agent, then it is impossible for the theory to be considered ''scientific '' or ''uncertain''. Given the prohibition of these four possibilities, the law of theory demarcation is not tautological.
