|Description=The paradox of normative propositions arises from the following three premises:
# there have been many historical cases where employed [[Method|scientific methods]] conflicted with professed [[Methodology|methodologies]];
# by [[The Third Law (Barseghyan-2015)|the third law]], employed methods are deducible from accepted theories, including methodologies;
# two proposition cannot be mutually inconsistent if one logically follows from another.
Sebastien's solution rejects premise (2), by clarifying that an employed method shouldn't necessarily follow from ''all'' accepted theories, but only from ''some''. In those cases, when an employed method is in conflict with an accepted methodology, it is an indication that the former doesn't follow from the latter. As for their mutual inconsistency, that is allowed by [[The Zeroth Law(Harder-2015)|the zeroth law]].
