|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=The new formulation of the law became accepted as a result of a communal consensus. It was noted by the commentators that the "modification provides a much improved formulation of the 2nd law".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0004#comment-57|c1]]</sup> It was noted that the new formulation "decouples the method from acceptance outcomes" and "is needed to avoid a contradiction for cases where assessment by the method is inconclusive, but the theory is accepted".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0004#comment-36|c2]]</sup> It was agreed that the new law eliminates two of the major flaws of the previous formulation. First, it clearly states the relations between different assessment outcomes and the actual theory acceptance/unacceptance. Second, it clearly forbids certain conceivable courses of events and, thus, doesn't sounds like a tautology.<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0001#comment-65|c3]]</sup>
