Question

A fisherman informs you that he catches fish every Wednesday afternoon. You try fishing on a
Wednesday afternoon and do not catch any fish. Despite your experience, the fisherman thinks that
his observation is real and should be written in the local books as a scientific finding. He asks you if
his discovery is a law or a theory. Write a short response paragraph that explains why his finding is
neither a scientific law or a theory.

Answer 1

There is no sufficient evidence for either a law or a theory. The fisherman’s law/theory cannot be replicated by others. He also does not provide the amount of fish caught every Wednesday.
