Having analyzed several instances of scientific error, we show that scientific error handling, when properly analyzed, is fully consistent with the theory rejection theorem.[[CiteRef::Machado-Marques and Patton (2021)]] Instances of scientific error typically involve the rejection of one or more of the premises of the argument that leads to the erroneous conclusion as well as the conclusion itself. In most cases, first-order propositions of the original erroneously accepted theory are replaced by other first-order propositions incompatible with them. In some cases, however, first-order propositions are replaced by second-order propositions asserting the lack of sufficient reason for accepting these first-order propositions. In both cases, such a replacement is fully consistent with the theory rejection theorem.
