However, it is not quite clear whether the law in its current formulation can be contradicted by any conceivable situation. So the question is whether the law is tautological or nonOvergaard-tautological, i.e. whether there are circumstances (perhaps the collapse of the society which contains the scientific community) under which the second law can in principle be violated?|Authors List=Rory Harder|Formulated Year=2013|Academic Events=Scientonomy Seminar 2013|Prehistory=|History=|Current View=|Parent Topic=Mechanism of Theory Acceptance|Page Status=Needs Editing|Editor Notes=}}{{Acceptance Record|Community=Community:Scientonomy|Accepted From Era=CE|Accepted From Year=2016|Accepted From Month=January|Accepted From Day=1|Accepted From Approximate=No|Acceptance Indicators=This was when the community first accepted an answer to this question.
