Changes

|Preamble=In 2018 [[Rejection of Data| Maxim Mirkin and Sinan Karamehmetoglu raised the issue]] of whether cases of scientific error were compatible with [[Theory Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015)| the theory rejection theorem]]. These authors were concerned that it appeared as though, in cases of error, a theory was simply being removed from the mosaic due to its being recognized as an error without being replaced by another theory. The [[The First Law|first law of scientific change]] states that "an element of the mosaic remains in the mosaic unless replaced by other elements". The first law, together with the [[Compatability Corollary (Fraser-Sarwar-2018)| compatibility corollary]] can be used to deduce [[Theory Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015)| the theory rejection theorem]], which states that "A theory becomes rejected only when other theories incompatible with the theory become accepted".
