|Preamble=It says in [[Barseghyan (2015)|''The Laws of Scientific Change'']] that the second law is a tautology, as it purportedly follows from the definition of ''employed method''.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 129, footnote]] However in later deductions of the theorems concerning the underdeterminism of scientific change and mosaic slit, the second law clearly transpires as a non-tautological law, i.e. a law that forbids certain courses of events.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 205-207]] [[The Second Law (Patton-Overgaard-Barseghyan-2017)|The reformulation of the second law ]] suggested by Patton, Overgaard, and Barseghyan in 2017 makes the causal connection between theory assessment outcomes and cases of theory acceptance/unacceptance explicit and thus shows that the law is not a tautology, as it clearly forbids certain logically possible scenarios, such as a theory satisfying the method of the time yet remaining unaccepted.[[CiteRef::Patton, Overgaard, and Barseghyan (2017)]]
