|Formulation File=Method-rejection-theorem-box-only.jpg|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 First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|the first law]] for methods, an employed method will remain employed until it is replaced by other methods. By [[Compatibility Corollary (Fraser-Sarwar-2018)|the compatibility corollary]], the elements of the scientific mosaic are compatible with each 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)|pp. 172-176]] [[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)|pp. 72-74]] {{PrintDiagramFile|diagram file=Method Rejection Theorem deduction (Barseghyan-Fraser-Sarwar-2018).png}}

|Prehistory=
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]]
