Oh, and even then this isn't exactly uncommon in science. We have plenty of laws which some things just don't obey. Hooke's Law is another classic example which is taught to schoolchildren (and first-year materials scientists). There is a region in which materials obey Hooke's Law and a region where they don't. There is are regions where materials don't obey Newton's Laws; that doesn't make them, or Hooke's laws, "wrong" or "untrue" and I really wish people who should know better would stop saying it did.
