True. That is why it is important to identify the uselessness of semantic discussion.

"Law" has multiple meanings.

"The Law of Attraction" could therefore mean many things.

However, there is a general common understanding of what it is supposed to mean - and while it is difficult to define precisely the outer boundaries of that general common understanding, it works well enough for purposes of discussion.

When someone - anyone - starts insisting that there's something about the LOA that's defective because it's not "scientific", he's really just insisting that the word "law" here conforms to the particular meaning of law he has in mind.

His point is therefore as foolish as someone who says that the Law of Attraction is false, because it really wasn't passed by Parliament, nor acknowledged by judges in a court of law.
