~~laws~~ rules of thumb

  A "law", in the scientific sense, is really just a detailed observation.

    Good point. Note also that some "laws" may remain as "laws", even in the face of experimental evidence which directly contradicts the predicted results of that law. Which gives rise to "The Law of Research Funding", in which the amount of funding that can be attracted to support a given law is proportional to the amount of real world experimental evidence which contradicts that law. :)
