So psychologists conclude there are no scientific laws (in psych?) in the sense 
of established, reliable relationships, or that the word is meaningless in 
psychology?  I take it the latter is the popular consensus?   A scientific law 
or principle in psychology is the same as theory or theoretical idea? That 
seems to be even more confusing.  Is the term that empty (for psychologists)?  
Yes, psychologists (historically or otherwise) seem to use such terms rather 
loosely, but I don't think the idea of a scientific law or principle is that 
hard to fathom.  Perhaps the problem is that some wish the term to refer to 
some essentialist and rigid idea?  Still wondering....Gary
