Well, in the real world, the definition of Laws is not an issue. It would be like arguing over what a plus sign (+) means in an equation.

2+2=4 Of course in Math it is very clear cut. But in Physics, laws are like equations, they are used to calculate and design. There is no doubt about their functionality.

Part of this is just like with math. The very definition of a law defines when it is true. Laws are also relatively easy to demonstrate, and are considered to never change.
