By the [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|First Law]] for methods, an employed method will remain employed until it is replaced by other methods. By the [[The Zeroth Law (Harder-2015)|Zeroth Law]], the elements of the [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]] must be compatible with one another. Thus, a method can only become rejected when it is replaced by an incompatible method or methods.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 172-176]].
