Thanks for taking the trouble to explain. I read a book 30 or so years ago titled Overcoming Math Anxiety. Its theme was the fact that some words we use in everyday language are also used in math but with different meanings. That is the reason some of us have a difficult time grasping certain principles of mathematics, because they seem to be saying, to us, something other than they are. Unless a patient professor will help get past that with an explanation, the confusion continues throughout life and those people never like math nor grasp some of the principles of science because all are based on the language of math.

You are welcomed. I admit when I saw that you had replied, I was ready for a fight. When most posters encounter an explanation such as mine, they continue to fight the point and insist that laws are somehow more certain than theories. It is refreshing to see that you didn't do so. Thank you.
