-An attempt to answer this question is made by Sarwar and Fraser who argue that the ''law of theory demarcation'' is not a tautology, because it is in principle violable, as it forbids certain logical possibilities.[[CiteRef::Sarwar and Fraser (2018)]] In particular, if the assessment outcomes of the demarcation criteria are conclusively satisfied, then it is impossible for the theory's status to be considered unscientific or uncertain. Moreover, if a theory conclusively fails to satisfy the demarcation criteria employed by an epistemic agent, then it is impossible for the theory to be considered scientific or uncertain. Given the prohibition of these four possibilities, the law of theory demarcation is not tautological.
