By the first law for theories, an accepted theory remains accepted until it is replaced by other theories. By the compatibility corollary, the elements of the scientific mosaic are compatible with each other at any moment of time. It follows, therefore, that a theory can only become rejected when it is replaced by an incompatible theory or theories.1pp. 167-172 2pp. 72-74

This reason for Theory Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015) was formulated by Hakob Barseghyan, Patrick Fraser and Ameer Sarwar in 2018.2
