|Description=According to ''the method rejection theorem'', a [[Method|method]] ceases to be employed only when other methods that are incompatible with it become employed. By the [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|First Lawthe first law]] for methods, an employed method will remain employed until it is replaced by other methods. By the [[The Zeroth Law Compatibility Corollary (HarderFraser-Sarwar-20152018)|Zeroth Lawthe compatibility corollary]], the elements of the [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]] must be are compatible with one anothereach other at any moment of time. Thus, a method can only become rejected when it is replaced by an incompatible method or methods.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|ppp. 172-176]] [[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)|pp. 72-74]]  {{PrintDiagramFile|diagram file=MethodRejection Theorem deduction (Barseghyan-Fraser-rejectionSarwar-theorem2018).jpgpng}}

|History=Initially, the method rejection theorem was accepted as deducible from the conjunction of [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|the first law]] for methods and [[Rory Harder|Harder]]'s [[The Zeroth Law (Harder-2015)|zeroth law]]. {{PrintDiagramFile|diagram file=Method-rejection-theorem.jpg}} After the replacement of Harder's zeroth law with [[Compatibility Corollary (Fraser-Sarwar-2018)|the compatibility corollary]], suggested by [[Patrick Fraser|Fraser]] and [[Ameer Sarwar|Sarwar]], it became accepted that the method rejection theorem is a deductive consequence of the first law for theories and the compatibility corollary.[[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)|pp. 72-74]]|Page Status=StubNeeds Editing
