Similarly, 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.|Resource=Sarwar and Fraser (2018)|Page Status=Stub}}
