|Description=According to '''the theory rejection theorem''', a [[Theory|theory]] becomes '''rejected''' only when other theories that are incompatible with the theory become accepted. By [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|the first law]] for theories, an accepted theory remains accepted until it is replaced by other theories. By [[Compatibility Corollary (Fraser-Sarwar-2018)|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.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 167-172]] [[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)|pp. 72-74]]

After the replacement of Harder's zeroth law with [[Compatibility Corollary (Fraser-Sarwar-2018)|the compatibility corollary]], suggested by [[Patrick Fraser|Fraser]] and [[Ameer Sarwar|Sarwar]], it became accepted that the theory rejection theorem is a deductive consequence of the first law for theories and the compatibility corollary.[[CiteRef::Fraser and Sarwar (2018)|pp. 72-74]]
